I would like to go back to Wales. I'm obsessed with my childhood and at least three times a week dream I am back there.

My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.

Life's too short to deal with other people's insecurities.

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.

A census taker once tried to test me. I ate his liver with some fava beans and a nice chianti.

I don't believe in nepotism. I don't much like the idea of parents who interfere.

Relish everything that's inside of you, the imperfections, the darkness, the richness and light and everything. And that makes for a full life.

The whole point of courage, to overcome your fear. That's the interesting thing, when courage bleeds through the fear.

I always liked to take the plunge, you know, I'd jump in at the deep end and hope that I'd find land somehow, or hope I'd float or survive. That's more or less the way I've gone through my life.

You're not more than one generation from poor white trash, are you, Agent Starling?

I don't know why we are here, but I'm pretty sure that it is not in order to enjoy ourselves.

So powerful is the light of unity that it can illuminate the whole earth.

You probably don't have much of a choice.

It's hard to keep the energy going sometimes, that's why I like to go with a group of people who are meditating. I love meditating in groups, it's fantastic.

People love to get scared. People want to see the worst thing that can happen.

We seem to think that the earth must go through the ordeal of sheep-pasturage before it is habitable by man.

People don't live nowadays: they get about ten percent out of life.

The truth of God's love is not that He allows bad things to happen, it's his promise that he will be there with us when they do.

He who does not see the whole world in his friends, does not deserve that the world should hear of him.

Picasso said art is a lie that tells the truth. What if you just want to tell the truth and not lie about it?
