How long can you be cute?

I have witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile.

Ditzy dumb blonde? I can be ditzy. I can be.

You often meet your fate on the road you take to avoid it.

There are three words I like to repeat to myself: glass half full. Just to remind myself to be grateful for everything I have.

We have to embrace obstacles to reach the next stage of joy

We need to have empathy. When we lose empathy, we lose our humanity.

At 11 years old I made a very definitive decision. And my decision was that I wanted to be happy.

The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.

The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth.

Why not just live in the moment, especially if it has a good beat?

Arty. To me the word's got as much venom associated with it as 'wacky'.

What I do for a living is re-create human emotion, and that's a pretty weird thing to do from nine till five.

Look, I don't need to feel like hell for failing you, okay? For failing you like I've failed every other godforsaken thing that I care about! I don't need it!

why shouldnt things be largely absurd, futile, and transitory? they are so, and we are so, and they and we go together.

I don't think it is given to any of us to be impertinent to great religions with impunity.

The seeds are tiny, unborn things, and I resent them. They'll be planted and they'll grow into exactly what they're meant to be.

While a man is racing he must hate himself and his competitors.

I don't think people understand how stressful it is to explain what's going on in your head when you don't even understand it yourself.

And in self-giving we become really happy. Real humility is the expansion of our consciousness and our service.

I hate when I lose my voice and then people try and talk to me and I seem like I'm being rude and then I hurt their feelings. That sucks.
