Life, even in the hardest times, is full of moments to savor. They will not come this way again, not in this way.

Life is not a journey you want to make on autopilot.

Letting ourselves be loved by God is the place where we stumble upon trust.

Have you thought that your willingness to forgive is really your affirmation of the power of God to do you good?

At times I felt that the universe fabricated from the power of imagination had stronger and more lasting contours than the blurred realm of the flesh-and-blood creatures around me.

The universe loves irony even more than it loves futility.

The fact is there is forgiveness for those who seek God. And I believe in the power of redemption.

I think the most important thing people can do is to learn about their watershed. And it's something no one knows.

Our system of education is locked in a time capsule. You want to say to the people in charge, 'You're not using today's tools! Wake up!'

The fate of a nation depends on the way that they eat.

You can't have a world where 50 percent of the people are dieting and 50 percent of the people are starving if you want stability.

You have to fight the green monster with your mind, not your fists.

I'm pretty outspoken.

I write movies about mavericks, about people who break rules, and I don't like movies about people who are pulverised for being mavericks.
