Moment after moment, completely devote yourself to listening to your inner voice.

Leave your front door and your back door open. Allow your thoughts to come and go. Just don't serve them tea.

When you do something, you should burn yourself up completely, like a good bonfire, leaving no trace of yourself.

Nothing outside yourself can cause any trouble. You yourself make the waves in your mind. If you leave your mind as it is, it will become calm. This mind is called big mind.

Treat every moment as your last. It is not preparation for something else.

If you can just appreciate each thing, one by one, then you will have pure gratitude. Even though you observe just one flower, that one flower includes everything

Well first of all, it's hard to shoot a movie and break for a long time and then come back and do, in a sense, one of the biggest scenes that each character had.

Ive always been very comfortable in a set environment. All the collaborating going on, seeing how actors work - it all excites me.

I've always done roles that really appealed to me on a gut level and which I found inspiring.

If you want to attract people, you need to be like people you enjoy being with.

Science is not neutral in its judgments, nor dispassionate, nor detached.
