I don't want my son to fight and duck bullets. I want a choice where I live.

We understand in choosing one charity over another, there's always going to be the fact that we made a choice. The only reason I think that we did that here is because we had the precedent of doing it and the Red Cross are first responders.

It really should be your choice about who you want to know what information about you.

I had a choice to be lazy or lean.

Compassion is not a virtue -- it is a commitment. It's not something we have or don't have -- it's something we choose to practice.

My people sing, we dance, we love. That is our strength. But we also dig. And then we die. Seldom do we get to choose why. That choice is power. That choice has been our only weapon. But it is not enough.
