I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

I am very conscious of who I am as an artist and as an inspirational person.

As people are walking all the time, in the same spot, a path appears.

Plant thy foot firmly in the prints which His foot has made before thee.

Anytime you have the opportunity to do any kind of story that is based on a true story, I think those are the most inspirational.

We all obviously need others to look up to, and be inspirational to us. Ford did a great job as far as putting the presidency back where it belonged, getting the trust back after Nixon. And President Reagan has been one of the most influential presidents.

Benazir Bhutto was an inspirational leader and an inspirational woman.

I pray God may preserve your health and life many years.

You must do the things you think you cannot do.

And when I breathed, my breath was lightning.

We can change our lives. We can do, have, and be exactly what we wish.

A lot of America is kind of done. People have been making films about it for 100 years. Everything to me feels used up. But Jo-Burg feels unbelievably inspirational to me.

In fact, I wouldn't really call this a Gospel album, I call it more an inspirational album.

So I wanted to sing inspirational music, and that's exactly how I approached it - only the words have been changed to declare my relationship with God.

I view art as an inspirational tool.

Change your thoughts and you change your world.

Lady Gaga is the present and the future. She is the most revolutionary and inspirational artist. She is fearless and daring.

As far as me being inspirational to other combat-wounded guys, I would say that it's the opposite. To see guys at Walter Reed that I recovered with every day and they were missing every single one of their limbs - that is what I would say is inspiring.

'Get along, go along' is not an inspirational philosophy, and only God knows how much moral cowardice it has covered up over the years. Serve your time, collect your chits, and cash 'em in for your home state? No, I'd say we could ask for more than that from our senators.

The most inspirational person in my life has been my mother.
