I don't know how much longer I'll be around. I'll probably be writing when the Lord says, 'Maya, Maya Angelou, it's time.'

Maya Angelou

When you learn, teach. When you get, give. Maya Angelou taught me that.

Oprah Winfrey

I didn't know there was an extra 'a' in Maya Angelou! I spelled it like 'Mya' the singer.

Chi Chi DeVayne

Thank you so much for supporting me from the day I stepped foot into the music industry. It really means something to me to have Maya Angelou speak on my behalf. It also means a lot to have Oprah on my speed dial!

Mary J. Blige

Willa’s big blue eyes, Willa’s dimpled-cheeked smile. Tiffin’s shaggy blond mane, Tiffin’s cheeky grin. Kit’s yells of excitement, Kit’s glow of pride. Maya’s face, Maya’s kisses, Maya’s love. Maya, Maya, Maya . . .

Tabitha Suzuma

As cliche as that sounds, Maya Angelou is one of the best writers I've ever read. She's very wise and to the point.

Goldlink

Women, as well as men, in all ages and in all places, have danced on the earth, danced the life dance, danced joy, danced grief, danced despair, and danced hope. Literally and metaphorically, by their very lives.

Margaret Laurence

I am just a poor boy, though my story's seldom told, and I have squandered my resistance, for a pocket full of mumbles, such are promises. All lies in jest, still a man hears what he wants to hear and disregards the rest...la-la-la-la-la-la-la-lala-la-la-la-la...

Paul Simon

From Maya Angelou I began to believe that I, too, someday, could be a writer, and I also learned how tortuous it can be to be in possession of a unique voice.

Dirk Benedict

You did the best you could, the best you knew how at the time." It was something like that. From Oprah on an Oprah show. Then I believe my quote above was from Maya Angelou on the Oprah show, not Oprah herself. I had heard it before but it was on Oprah's show again 1-7-09 and she said Maya had said it.

Oprah Winfrey

I don't want to bother them and ruin the party they are preparing so carefully at La Scala.

Riccardo Muti

For the first time I go to La Scala, for each thing, for each rehearsal, my knees were shaking. But the audience was very fine with me.

Ildar Abdrazakov

I cannot be music director at La Scala and at Staatsoper. This would be unfair to one of the two institutions.

Daniel Barenboim

What stands out to me most about Maya Angelou is not what she has done or written or spoken; it's how she lived her life. She moved through the world with unshakable calm, confidence and a fierce grace.

Oprah Winfrey

I came up with the name 'The Undefeated' the day Maya Angelou died. It took eight months to get the name approved.
