As you live your life and accumulate friends, both IRL and on social media, ask yourself, are you a bully too?

The problem is that you cannot prove yourself against someone who is much weaker than yourself.

You find yourself writing the truth, because it's like, 'Well, I ain't writing for anyone but myself anyway.'

A box of spaghetti can take seven minutes to cook, and you can make a sauce at that time with perhaps garlic, olive oil, and zucchini. Then you've got yourself a complete meal. The whole thing shouldn't take more than half an hour.

If you want to be original just try being yourself, because God has never made two people exactly alike.

Make yourself comfortable in everything you do.

Whoever you pretend to be, you must face yourself eventually.

Sometimes you kind of lose yourself in someone else's personality.

My very first account was @BlackBarbie, which is what my friends called me growing up. Then I thought, 'You can either call yourself that, or you can find something that will matter to dark-skinned girls.' So I came up with @melaniin.goddess.

In a world where the body politic has the attention span at times of a goldfish, yep, you've got to have the ability to reinvent yourself in this game many times.

Get the screens out of your room and surround yourself with books.

In the theater, it's a visceral and physical response because you move around so much. You have to do something physical to pull you in. On TV or in movies, everything is so small. You can just lock into a character and ease yourself into that way.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Express yourself, don't hurt yourself.

I just think you need to believe in yourself - be offensive, but still have some nervousness in your body before any important game.

In comedy you have to be willing to not take yourself seriously, you know? I take comedy really seriously, and so to take comedy seriously, you must not, you cannot, ever take yourself seriously.

I like the idea that one thing leads to another. You can tweet something completely innocuous, and then find yourself going off on a tangent that's inspired by a response.

If you want to be pro, you have to hold yourself accountable. It's about what you do when nobody's looking.

There's times when you're by yourself and you want your girl around or your kids around. You just need somebody around. And other times, boxing makes you feel like you want to be by yourself. You get emotional. That's why after some wins, I cry. Even in my losses, I cry. Because I know how hard I work, and I always want to be victorious.

In fiction, when you paint yourself into a corner, you can write a pair of suction cups onto the bottoms of your shoes and walk up the wall and out the skylight and see the sun breaking through the clouds. In nonfiction, you don't have that luxury.
