On Life
- "It's critical to be your most authentic, true self. Be you and be real. But the key thing is recognizing the joy and responsibility you have to bring everyone along with you. And you do that by being kind, compassionate, inclusive, and just straight up being good to people. Because — make no mistake about it, in this climate of negativity and cynicism — being good and caring about people still matters."
- "Kindness matters. Being a decent human being matters. And I'm not saying hard work and kindness equate to success, but I will tell you this: you can get a lot further in life with hard work and being a good person than hard work and being an assh*le."
- "Everyone's important to someone or something. And it's nice to be important, but it's more important to be nice."
- "Work your ass off, be kind, and enjoy your roses."
