To be friends with God means to pray with simplicity, like children talking to their parents.

You pray for the hungry. Then you feed them. That's how prayer works.

The world tells us to seek success, power and money; God tells us to seek humility, service and love.

To change the world we must be good to those who cannot repay us.

Let us learn to live with kindness, to love everyone, even when they do not love us.

Let the Church always be a place of mercy and hope, where everyone is welcomed, loved and forgiven.

Having faith does not mean having no difficulties, but having the strength to face them, knowing we are not alone.

Holiness doesn't mean doing extraordinary things, but doing ordinary things with love and faith.

Throwing away food is like stealing from the table of those who are poor and hungry.

Wretched are those who are vindictive and spiteful.

Inequality is the root of social evil.

Friend of my bosom, thou more than a brother, Why wert thou not born in my father's dwelling?

I do listen to myself sometimes and think, 'Is my moral compass so easily swayed by the characters I play, or is it me growing as a human being?'

I don't think about relatability (when writing), I think about the heart of the character.

Man is that name of power which rises above them all, and gives to every one the right to be that which God meant he should be.

I just need to figure out how things work.

People that really know me will tell you that I am not a video vixen.

How did you feel feeding doughnuts to a horse? Had a kick out of it, huh? Got a big laugh. Did you ever think of feeding doughnuts to a human being? No!

Somewhere the hurting must stop.

A significant part of the pleasure of eating is in one’s accurate consciousness of the lives and the world from which food comes.

The little cares, fears, tears, timid misgivings, sleepless fancies of I don't know how many days and nights, were forgotten under one moment's influence of that familiar, irresistible smile.
