If a bullet should enter my brain, let that bullet destroy every closet door.

If you are not personally free to be yourself in that most important of all human activities … the expression of love … then life itself loses its meaning.

Burst down those closet doors once and for all, and stand up and start to fight.

Focus is essential to success, and successful people are people who can focus.

Intelligence without ambition is like a bird without wings.

You’ve got to say, “I think that if I keep working at this and want it badly enough, I can have it.” It’s called perseverance.

Be yourself; everyone else is already taken.
