Create the space and a bigger life happens

The more I give, the more I get.

The more I am able to deeply love and accept my flaws and imperfections, the more I am able to do that with my fellows.

I'm not a fruity girl. I don't like licorice. I'm chocolate all the way.

We must help each other to be present and compassionate. Remember that we have no idea what the person next to us is going through; compassion is the only choice.

Clearly, I'm committed to women's issues and stories and promoting gender equality. I have two incredible role models in Jenji [Kohan] and Shonda [Rhimes].

Be here now. It keeps us in a place of love, not fear.

I have to say I'm very good on a bike. Maybe the last time I was 5 years old.

The more I have deep love and compassion for my earth and my fellows, the more love and compassion I have for myself, and vice versa.

I haven't ridden a bike in a while because I'm so scared I'll get hit and die.

I once dressed up, very badly timed as Steve Irwin's daughter. And I didn't realize he had passed because I hadn't been following the news. I love Bindi Irwin, just the timing was in poor taste.

I am not here to compete in the war of words, I am here to nurture the future of stories.

I do not deny the possibility that the people may err in an election; but if they do, the true [cure] is in the next election, and not in the treachery of the person elected.

Warm congratulations to my friend Barack Obama. Look forward to continuing to work together.

I've always been a bit of a pessimist in regard to mankind.

Of all the achievements of the human mind, the birth of the alphabet is the most momentous.

Sarcasm creates a chasm between yourself and others.

Love is the profoundest of secrets. Divulged, even to the beloved, it is no longer Love. As if it were merely I that loved you. When love ceases, then it is divulged.

This may be the curse of human race . Not that we are different from one anther , but we are so alike .

Sympathy is towards someone else, versus empathy, which is feeling like someone else.

I would say anybody who's willing to listen to Dark Side of the Moon and watch The Wizard of Oz is already a very sensitive, creative person.
