Gratitude is the intention to count-your-blessings every day, every minute, while avoiding, whenever possible, the belief that you need or deserve different circumstances.

Compassion is the intention to see each human being as no better or worse than yourself, neither more nor less important, and as fundamentally similar to yourself.

I don't want to make a movie for 100,000 fans that nobody else in the world sees, because I don't think that's good for the character.

Getting out of your comfort zone, creating an adventure is really good.

True joy results when we become aware of our connectedness to everything.

I miss school. What’s wrong with me?
