It's ever so fun and fulfilling to be clever, but more lasting and effective to be consistent.

When we give ourselves permission to go wherever our outlandish thoughts take us, we feel that rush of creativity and excitement.

Whether the changes that are coming in your life will be unexpected or determined by your choices and actions, the wheels are in motion. The adventure has just begun.

When you find your passion, turn a deaf ear to the naysayers and follow your dreams.

Spend one more day in pursuit of art that only you can produce, and somewhere, someone is envying your courage to do just that.

Putting our art out there is one of the biggest risks we can take. It's a special kind of vulnerability. It takes guts to be an artist.

I've realized I don't need to keep looking for my path. I'm already on it. I just need to trust where it leads.

As artists, it is our job to question the rules and ask if they are relevant or outdated, necessary or arbitrary, helpful or oppressive.

If your art is calling to you, its doing so for a reason. You are feeling a pull toward something for which your soul is yearning.

Never let your goals or convictions get in the way of living your life. It's not about who dies with more, it's about who lived the most.

In times of trouble, people need artists. We create those spaces where their own pain and worry and sadness can rest, and where their broken hearts can hope again.

What I cannot love, I overlook.

I remember that feeling of skin. It'sstrange to remember touch more than thought. But my fingersstill tingle with it.

As a director, you always want things to look good. You're always trying to make things look tidy. That's what we're all trained to do.

You have to be prepared to die before you can begin to live.

When all of the selves have been dissolved, you will enter into the super-conscious awareness. Then, you are free. Then, there is no suffering. Then, there is no attachment.

Certainly, we do not need to be soothed and entertained always like children. He who resorts to the easy novel, because he is languid, does no better than if he took a nap.

We need to do as much as we can from every direction or we will surpass that two-degree climate increase. Actually, the science is showing we are already en route to surpassing two degrees.

If we cannot meet our everyday surroundings with equanimity and pleasure and grow each day in some useful direction, then... life is on the road toward misfortune, misery and destruction.

You who have received so much love, show your love by protecting the sacredness of life. The sacredness of life is the greatest gifts that God has given us.

The reason the rest of us remember, like, when John Lennon died, is because it's a moment when adrenaline is surging.
