I always wanted to do a 'Ms. Smith Goes to Washington.'
Some of the most inspiring moments in sports have come from players with physical defects. Tom Dempsey, born without toes on his right foot, kicked a 63-yard field goal in 1970, using a straighter, wider shoe.
Every writer dreams of writing a book that will touch people.
The trick to playing Steve Jobs? I don't know.
I loved 'The Secret of NIMH.' When that came out, it felt like, 'Wow, this is something really, really new.' It looked like a Disney film, but it felt very cutting edge to me. To a twelve-year-old kid, it seemed very inspiring.
A thriller or an action movie would entice me. A sportsperson or a musician's biopic sounds exciting, too.
I'm making my Broadway musical debut at the age of 73 - it's a kind of interesting career arc.
The platform got me out of a very dark period of my life, so I love YouTube genuinely.
If you think about 2Pac, Biggie, and Nas, all of those guys were teenagers or in their early 20s when they got started. Everybody acts like young people have to be silly and lack perspective. Those guys had incredible perspective, and everything that they said was before 25 years old.
I watched Sly Stallone and the 'Rocky' movies over and over again. They were fantastic.
Since losing my legs, I've found out that I am able to help other people by sharing how I've overcome my obstacles.

Who doesn't like a redemption story?

What I think is really great about this movie [42], that young people who weren't there will have a chance to have the visceral experience of what Jackie Robinson went through.
I saw an amazing film when I was 16 called 'Slam'. It's about a spoken-word poet. Saul Williams is in it.
'Stomp the Yard' was a great film. It was a great film, great opportunity. It's the reason I live in Atlanta to this day, that film. But as far as acting goes, it wasn't very challenging. I played me.
Barack Obama's journey to the White House has impressed and inspired the entire world.
At the end of the day, TV is supposed to be entertaining. But it's important for me that there's some take-away value from it.
When I started my campaign for Congress, I was one who people said, 'Tulsi, you have a bright future, but there's no way you can win.'
The world knows me as the Raging Bull.
I believe very strongly - and I never brought this up as a player - but I put up, I feel, Hall of Fame numbers with diabetes. If I didn't have diabetes - nobody realizes that, when I was diagnosed at 18, even the doctors didn't know what to do about diabetes.
I think my thing is I grew up in the ghetto, and I was able to get a second chance. That's what I'm trying to tell kids.
