I'm not as much a history person as an art person, but I mean, you can read history through art.

I lived in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, until eighth grade, and then my high-school years were in Rochester, New York.

If you're creating anything at all, it's really dangerous to care about what people think.

It sounds so cheesy, but there's something very powerful about looking in the mirror and asking yourself a question. Because I think it's really hard to lie.

When you go out of your comfort zone and it works there's nothing more satisfying.

With improv, it's a combination of listening and not trying to be funny.

I don't know about the romantic comedy route, although never say never.

The weddings that I've been in have been pretty mellow.

Maybe studios don't want to see women acting in a way that isn't womanly. Maybe people don't.

I can relate to having those people in your life that you feel are moving on to this great, big, normal life and you're like, 'What's wrong with me?'

I think no matter what kind of life you have, whether it looks one way to people or another way, you always have moments when you imagine a different life.

Life is a mystery- mystery of beauty, bliss and divinity. Meditation is the art of unfolding that mystery.

Your life is a print-out of your thoughts.

I'm not an expert on the arms race.

Personally, I'm not very keen on the visualization of absolutely everything.

Remember the enemy of all painting is gray: a painting will almost always appear grayer than it is, on account of its oblique position under the light.

Make your company stock a consumer product. When consumers buy stock in your company, they'll never buy a competitive product. You've linked their financial future to yours.

Because we are in the world, we are condemned to meaning, and we cannot do or say anything without its acquiring a name in history.

My prayer was always: 'Lord, if You bless me, I'll thank You: but if You don't, I'll be thankful for what I have. I have plenty. I'm in good shape.'

I am not successful, in terms of Hollywood.

I've found in my own life that if my writing isn't going well, not much else will. It is the one constant, the key to everything else.
