Helping others pulls us out of our own problems. And so does dressing up like frogs and playing leap frog in a Starbucks. Who would've known.

Be kind to yourself so you can be happy enough to be kind to the world.

Don't pressure yourself. Don't worry about what others think you should do or what the societal "norm" is. Do what moves you and makes you smile and the "good" will follow.

I want to live in a world where 'normal' is an insult.

Even small acts of kindness can make a profound difference to somebody else.

We are bound only by the limits of our imaginations.

I am passionate about tea, running, the idea that we are bound only by the limits of our imaginations, and maple syrup.

I actually think that the most efficacious way of making a difference is to lead by example, and doing random acts of kindness is setting a very good example of how to behave in the world.

I'm just trying to remember what self-respect feels like. It's a fading memory.

Do what moves you and makes you smile and the "good" will follow.

I've always had a fascination with hugging (I'm not really particular about who or what it is I'm embracing as long as there's a “squish” factor).

I was mortified by the prospect of becoming hopelessly trapped in someone else's story.

I will tell you something about stories . . . They aren't just entertainment. Don't be fooled. They are all we have, you see, all we have to fight off illness and death.

And don't consult anyone's opinions but your own.

The heat of the battle is as sweet as the victory.

You realize that there's no point in doing anything if nobody's watching. You wonder, if there had been a low turnout at the crucifixion, would they have rescheduled?

We don't need mass armies anymore. We replace it with more effective equipment.

When you're on camera, you can't think of all the technical things.

I get a certain feeling when I go to Lambeau field in Green Bay. Soldier field in Chicago is special to me. Those are the places that I really like. The stadiums.

And in today already walks tomorrow.

People whose talents are not exploited become disenchanted and disruptive.
