I wasn’t a friendly child. I was reserved and mostly kept to myself. My family tells me they’ve noticed a sea change in me after I’ve grown up. But I guess that’s natural. Your surroundings, friends, college, etc. do make a lot of difference to your personality.
In a normal time, I don’t think economic policy makes a large difference one way or another. But in times of crisis it makes all the difference in the world.

I’ve had trouble now and again in Nigeria because I have spoken up about the mistreatment of factions in the country because of difference in religion. These are things we should put behind us.
That’s the difference between the NCAA and the NFL right now. They’ve got to step up and say, ‘We’re going to do the right thing. We’re going to hire qualified people. We’re going to hire the best man for the job regardless of what boosters or anyone else has to say.’
I don’t think that a vote for Barack Obama is a symbolic thing. I think it’s much more than that. It’s not just a black man. It’s not just a feel-good vote. It’s the idea of electing someone who really does want to make a difference.

Love and kindness are never wasted. They always make a difference. They bless the one who receives them, and they bless you, the giver.
I know it sounds weird, but the food that I eat, it doesn’t make a big difference, and it never has. So, I’ve saved a ton of money not buying a lot of alcohol, not going out to restaurants too much. So, I think it’s part of our culture, and it’s part of a social activity more than anything else.
Being a mom, I am even more inspired to really help make a difference. I can’t imagine what it would be like if my child didn’t have a meal to eat.

You’ve got to take the initiative and play your game. In a decisive set, confidence is the difference.
Moving to New York made all the difference in my creating this new series with Ellie Hatcher. I love Portland, and it’s always going to be one of my favorite cities, but it was getting to the point where, after I’d moved to New York, I couldn’t write as specifically about Portland any more.
I don’t want to make money; I want to make a difference.

I love doing my radio show and talking to the fans and listening to what they have to say, but there’s a certain responsibility that comes along with being given the gift of music. I take that seriously, but at the same time I try to use it to do something that makes a difference in a positive way.
We all have the same destiny. The difference is opening ourselves up to possibilities to joy, hope, and happiness along the way. Give yourself and others a chance to take advantage of what’s out there and available.

When everything is stripped away in life, everybody is a human being that has problems, that has issues, has flaws, that isn’t perfect.

I returned to India after long years of international service, because I had always cherished the desire to make a difference in my own country.
