This whole segregation between famous people and other people is complete rubbish.

People go down bad paths and they make bad decisions, but it's always justified in their head.

I once had someone say to me in an interview, 'You are more ugly on the screen than in real life.'

It's not like I've ever been the popular pretty girl at school or anything. I was always such a weirdo.

People really want to see what I'm up to, and that's crazy. It's a really lovely feeling. It's kind of scary, but a good scary. It's a lovely position to be in.

Whether I like it or not, I've become influential to people.

What my work is, is my approach to it. It's the practice. And my work is about the effort that I make to get there. And I think if there's anything artistic, it's in that middle space.

When there was a disaster, it used to be that people went to church and all held hands. Now the minute anything happens they run to CNN.

We've all gathered together, and whatever goes down is what goes down.

Creativity is at the root of love and meaning in this life.

When the mind, one-pointed and fully focused, knows the supreme silence in the Heart, this is true learning.

It's the same as saying, you know, "I'll smoke, but that's up to me." Doctors don't recommend it. I don't recommend smoking. It's a bad idea. Smoking or spanking. Bad ideas.

Christmas is not just a day, an event to be observed and speedily forgotten. It is a spirit which should permeate every part of our lives.
