It's not easy to do the unpopular thing.
The truth of the matter is that you always know the right thing to do. The hard part is doing it.
When there's an opportunity to do more, we must.
If you care enough to look right, you care enough to act right. And vice versa.
You always gotta do the right thing: you never know who's watching.
If we plant the right seeds, tomorrow will be better. If you put out good things, then you'll get good things back. That's part of our responsibility as entertainers.
If I feel strongly, I say it. I know I can do more good by being vocal than by staying quiet. I'd have a whole lot more money if I lied, but I wouldn't enjoy spending it.
Well, I'm still looking for Maurice Ashley. My essential qualities. I think that more than anything, I try to do the right thing, I think about doing the right thing.
There's only so much I can do to effect change - and really, the thing that I can do that's most effective is to work and to do good work. That, I feel, is speaking out in its own way.

I'd love to be the first one to say this, but it automatically turns into - we all have those responsibilities that we ignore because we don't feel like they're ours.
Sometimes you've got to do things you don't want to do. Doing the right thing is not always comfortable; it doesn't always feel good.
Take things as they are. Punch when you have to punch. Kick when you have to kick.
I'm not the type of guy that takes stuff back he did.
Will you stand by it now, or will you let the Shylocks come and have their way? It is for you to determine.
As a person, I am not really someone who would intervene and tell you to do the right thing.
Tell me what is right and I will fight for it.
I'd recommend the high road to anybody. You wonder about it and you don't really appreciate it until you do it and you find that it worked for everyone. But I recommend it.
Whether things turn out for the better depends on what we do. We ought not spend our time masterminding the future, but recognize our marching orders: to do the best we can for history and the planet.
Heroes have a rough time because they stand up when they ought not to, they speak when they ought not to; they always have to go that extra mile.
