Every day, have a little bird on your shoulder that asks, 'Is today the day? Am I ready? Am I doing all I need to do? Am I being the person i want to be? Is today the day I die?

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

Accept who you are; and revel in it.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.

We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.

The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

Sometimes the most important thing to do is to do nothing.

Always lust for the best, because life is too short to be an ordinary.

There's none so blind as those who won't see.

You see in others who you are.

I consider myself a pathfinder. I have been excavating the jungle and making the road for others to walk. I like to be the first in everything I do.

Take pictures of what you fear.

Hollywood today is all about being consistent. All thinking in mainstream film business takes place in one box.

I have a kind of standard explanation why, which goes like this: Science fiction is one way of making sense out of a senseless world.

A mathematician who is not also something of a poet will never be a complete mathematician.

You can always become better.
