Meditation is very important to me. I feel off-balance when I skip a day.

My first waitress job was at Johnny Rockets in New Jersey, and then I waited tables at a sports bar.

My grandmother always would say, "This, too, shall pass." It is always true.

Laughter makes me come alive. Either being made to laugh or igniting it.

Dishonesty makes me feel vulnerable.

There is always a reason. When I look back on things that really upset me at the moment, I can always see why it happened in retrospect.

I do yoga daily as well. I need to start the day with some sort of physical activity. That combined with the meditation clears my mind and energizes me.

I usually need to sit with pain a while. Really feel it. Then I need to talk it out. Luckily, I am surrounded by wonderful listeners who haven't told me to shut up yet.

When my husband came to my parents' house for the first time, he asked, 'Why is everyone screaming? Why are they so angry?' I said, 'No one's angry. This is just how we communicate.

I was a super shy, shy kid, so that was kind of my way of expressing myself - to mimic what I saw on TV. I was a bit of a weird kid, but luckily my parents encouraged it.

I knew from a young age that I wanted to perform. I went to an arts camp called Brookdale Arts Camp, in New Jersey, from the time I was 6, and then I was a counselor there through high school.

We believe it is bad or dangerous to be carried away by our emotions. We admire the person who is cool, who acts without feeling.

Once you have been confronted with a life-and-death situation, trivia no longer matters. Your perspective grows and you live at a deeper level. There's no time for pettiness.

If the inner life of our fashionable women were known, how few would deserve the title of lady!

My fellow Americans, it has been the honor of my life to serve you. I won't stop. In fact, I will be right there with you as a citizen for all my remaining days.

It's better to look strong and healthy.

I am most interested in people. I try to capture their complexity and contradiction and beauty. It does not matter where they are from.

There are only four people who knew what the Beatles were about anyway.

Objective evaluations set the foundation that moves leaders to the tipping point.

I have always looked on my businesses not just as money-making machines, but as adventures that can, I hope, make people better off.

Things fall apart, even when you think they're stronger than anything you could ever imagine.
