Honestly, I like everything, boyish girls, girlish boys, the heavy and the skinny.

I do not expect the white media to create positive black male images.

Among the friends of Union, there is great diversity of sentiment and of policy in regard to slavery and the African race among us.

I have a dream that one day on the red hills of Georgia, the sons of former slaves and the sons of former slave owners will be able to sit together at the table of brotherhood.

Every generation laughs at the old fashions, but follows religiously the new.

Pakistan is not a unified country.

Let’s teach kids, at the kindergarten level, what the contributions of people of color were to building the United States of America.

I grew up in a very nice house in Houston, went to private school all my life and I’ve never even been to the ‚hood. Not that there’s anything wrong with the ‚hood.

In words, as fashions, the same rule will hold; Alike fantastic, if too new, or old: Be not the first by whom the new are tried, Nor yet the last to lay the old aside.

When I was with Andy Warhol, I thought, ‚God, his wig looks cheaper than mine!‘

We have created characters and animated them in the dimension of depth, revealing through them to our perturbed world that the things we have in common far outnumber and outweigh those that divide us.

Don’t say I hate institutionalised religion – rather than saying I hate those things, which I do not, what I’m saying is that perhaps there is a way of opening more doors, rather than closing so many.

You have your ideology and I have mine.

If proud Americans can be who they are and boldly stand at the altar with who they love then surely, surely we can give everyone in this country a fair chance at that great American Dream.

We are a nation founded as a rebuke to tyranny. A nation of revolutionaries who refused sovereign reign from afar. Hear me – we’re a nation that says give us your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breathe free. A nation built on our differences, guided by the belief that we’re all created equal.

I think you could ask 10 English people the same question about class and get a very different answer.

I like either skinny jeans or the ripped, casual, super-sloppy boyfriend jeans. A lot of ripped jeans. They are so early 2000, but they are so cute, I love them. I love surfer jeans, too!

There are charms made only for distant admiration.

I had one incident where my daughter said that a girl asked if she was a brown person. I said, ‚We’re black. You have black people, white people, Chinese people, Hispanic people; we’re all brought up differently.‘

I get that racism exists, but it’s not a catalyst for my content. I don’t need to talk about race to have material. My style of comedy is more self-deprecating. I think that makes me more relatable. When you deal with ‚topics‘ – race, white versus black – you’re not separating from the pack. You’re doing what everybody else is doing.

What the Pope thinks of being gay does not matter to the world. It matters to the people who like the Pope and follow the Pope… It is not a reflection of all religious people.

My parents taught me never to judge others based on whom they love, what color their skin is, or their religion.

In a sense I portray myself in a very androgynous way, and I love androgyny.

I thought I would dress in baggy pants, big shoes, a cane and a derby hat. everything a contradiction: the pants baggy, the coat tight, the hat small and the shoes large.

Few people are capable of expressing with equanimity opinions which differ from the prejudices of their social environment. Most people are even incapable of forming such opinions.

Here in America, we don’t let our differences tear us apart. Not here. Because we know that our greatness comes from when we appreciate each other’s strengths, when we learn from each other, when we lean on each other, because in this country, it’s never been each person for themselves. No, we’re all in this together. We always have been.

Hip-hop is ever changing but you’ll always have the pack. And you’ll always have those people who are separated from the pack.

The world, as a rule, does not live on beaches and in country clubs.

DACA recipients risk a lot to come out of the shadows & sign up, but many will tell you the risk is worth being able to live and work in the only country they’ve ever known as home. DACA recipients serve in our military, work in Fortune 100 companies, and conduct important medical research.

Here in America, we don’t give in to our fears. We don’t build up walls to keep people out.

I loved the fact that Obama is multi-racial. I thought that was terrific, as my wife is the same racial make-up.

I think, in politics, half the people are gonna like you, and half the people are not gonna like you, no matter what you do or what you say… It’s like there are no right answers. If there were, everyone would choose the right answers. They’re all opinions.

We are all special cases.

Fashion is life-enhancing, and I think it’s a lovely, generous thing to do for other people.

I go to all these photo shoots, and each time I figure out something new about myself and what I want to wear.

Gentleness, self-sacrifice and generosity are the exclusive possession of no one race or religion.

People who bowl vote. Bowlers are not the cultural elite.

Everything has changed, and nothing has changed more than the world of fashion.

When you have shot one bird flying you have shot all birds flying. They are all different and they fly in different ways but the sensation is the same and the last one is as good as the first.

We are all different. There is no such thing as a standard or run-of-the-mill human being, but we share the same human spirit.

The style of God venerated in the church, mosque, or synagogue seems completely different from the style of the natural universe.

I love you when you bow in your mosque, kneel in your temple, pray in your church. For you and I are sons of one religion, and it is the spirit.

Doing collections, doing fashion is like a non-stop dialogue.

If your culture doesn’t like geeks, you are in real trouble.

If I’m in a bad mood, or if I’m uncomfortable, it’s probably what I’m wearing that’s making me feel that way.

The diversity in the faculties of men, from which the rights of property originate, is not less an insuperable obstacle to an uniformity of interests. The protection of these faculties is the first object of government.

Sometimes, people can be extraordinarily judgmental and closed-minded to anyone different or special, which is why it’s so hard for young people in this day and age to be comfortable enough in their own skin to not listen to the people picking on them.

If we cannot now end our differences, at least we can help make the world safe for diversity.

Fashion is always of the time in which you live. It is not something standing alone. But the grand problem, the most important problem, is to rejeuvenate women. To make women look young. Then their outlook changes. They feel more joyous.

Music is part of the life of fashion, too.

I think any man who lets a woman pick what he should wear… I mean, you gotta draw the line somewhere as a man. I see these guys, ‚My wife told me to wear this!‘ And I just shake my head.

T-shirts for ten dollars are even more fashion today than expensive fashion.

It is only the modern that ever becomes old-fashioned.

I was the first person to have a punk rock hairstyle.

Fashion is a form of ugliness so intolerable that we have to alter it every six months.

The best fashion advice I’d say would be just to do what makes you comfortable and what makes you feel cute, and that’s how you’re gonna look your best ‚cause when you feel your best, everybody else can feel it, too.

I can’t go out with a Republican.

And I will do everything that I can as long as I am President of the United States to remind the American people that we are one nation under God, and we may call that God different names but we remain one nation.

The immigration issue is, I recognize, one that generates a lot of passion, but it does not make sense for us to want to push talent out.

I have no interest in gender or race or anything like that. But everyone else is kind of, with their calculating – is this the exact right mix? I think that’s – to me it’s anti-comedy. It’s more about PC-nonsense.

Unfortunately, the people of Louisiana are not racists.
