I was 3 when I told my mom that I knew what my dharma was and that I wanted to be an actor.

Celibacy is a great help, inasmuch as it enables one to lead a life of full surrender to God.

Elected leaders who forget how they got there won't the next time.

If Jesus were alive today, he'd probably be at the Super Bowl.

The hardness of the human heart makes no sense.

Death is a woman, and for that reason she's courageous and just, and never makes distinctions between mortals; she'll crush the ignorant, the arrogant, and the wise alike under her icy foot.

The United States is a fake country.
