asked coast gulf missed people shelter
When I asked her what she missed the most right now she said, 'My friends. I don't know where my friends are,' ... Tonight, let's show people on the Gulf Coast that they have friends all over the world . . . to give them shelter from the storm.
airplane hair want
I talked to Beyonce and she wants to learn how to speak Arabic and she wants to jump out of an airplane. I don't want to do that. I just don't want to wash my hair every day.
doors dancing rooms
I have the picture of Barack [Obama] and me dancing right outside of my dressing room door, I see it every single day, and it makes me very happy.
golf practice worry
I always worry when someone's a good golfer. It's like you shouldn't have time to be good at anything. You should just be a politician and you shouldn't have time to practice golf.
growing-up kids sarcasm
You listen to any monologue on late-night TV or just in general, to people talking, and there's always a joke at someone's expense. It's sarcasm; it's nasty. Kids grow up hearing that, and they think that's what humor is, and they think it's OK. But that negativity permeates the entire planet.
nice worry sitting
I like sitting at outdoor restaurants; it would be nice to go someplace on the street and not worry about somebody taking my picture while I'm about to take a bite of something.
gratitude feelings living-my-life
I don't really ever live my life in fear. I really live my life in gratitude and feeling positive for the most part.
healthy way-to-live looks
If success is really dependent on someone liking you or not liking you, and you have to teeter on that kind of tightrope of how you're supposed to act and how you're supposed to look and who you are, it's just not a healthy way to live.
yesterday tomorrow being-the-best
Above all, I strive to be the best I can - to be better than I was yesterday and better tomorrow.
morning nice meditation
Meditation is helping me learn to sit still. Twenty minutes of meditation in the morning is a nice way to start my day. If you can actually sit still and really get to that place of silence, you realize what's important and what's not important. Little things don't usually get to me anymore.
energy emphasis
We put the wrong emphasis on what beauty is and what health is. Health is being vibrant and having energy and being happy.
want energy comment
I get to do stand-up every single day. I love that live energy exchange between the audience and myself, and to get to say the things I want to say and comment on.
