Loneliness is inner emptiness. Solitude is inner fulfillment.

The desperate need today is not for a greater number of intelligent people, or gifted people, but for deep people.

When we genuinely believe that inner transformation is God's work and not ours, we can put to rest our passion to set others straight.

Joy, not grit, is the hallmark of holy obedience. We need to be light-hearted in what we do to avoid taking ourselves too seriously. It is a cheerful revolt against self and pride.

Worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience.

Stop trying to impress people with your clothes and impress them with your life.

Of all spiritual disciplines prayer is the most central because it ushers us into perpetual communion with the Father.

Because we lack a divine Center our need for security has led us into an insane attachment to things.

Simplicity is the only thing that sufficiently reorients our lives so that possessions can be genuinely enjoyed without destroying us.

Just as worship begins in holy expectancy, it ends in holy obedience. If worship does not propel us into greater obedience, it has not been worship.

Worship is our response to the overtures of love from the heart of the Father.

Act to make your vision a reality.

If only I could freeze this moment, this feeling, because right now, nothing else mattered. I was f***ing flying.

You make me lovely, and it's so lovely to be lovely to the one I love...

The only time I ever want to be something is outside a party so I can get in.

Don't be afraid to give your best to what seemingly are small jobs.

When you have millions of dollars, you have millions of friends.

We will not really address our foreign policy and these endless wars that show no end in sight and seem to be getting deeper and broader and more catastrophic with each passing day.

I have no real tattoos. I wear my bruises and tons of scars as my tattoos.

I asked myself if I was genuinely happy and realized I had to change if I wanted to be able to do things with my kids, get rid of the pains in my hips and knees, and stop being judged.

When you're in Los Angeles, everybody you meet is writing a movie, and they want you to be in it. Every cab driver is writing a movie!
