Want balance in your life? Then sure, get your own act together, but don't forget four powerful disciplines of execution in your team and organization.

I am not a product of my circumstances. I am a product of my decisions.

To achieve goals you've never achieved before, you need to start doing things you've never done before.

The key is not to prioritize what's on your schedule, but to schedule your priorities.

Integrity is conforming reality to our words - in other words, keeping promises and fulfilling expectations.

Most of us spend too much time on what is urgent and not enough time on what is important.

Make small commitments and keep them. Be a light, not a judge. Be a model, not a critic. Be a part of the solution, not the problem.

Our ultimate freedom is the right and power to decide how anybody or anything outside ourselves will affect us.

When you really listen to another person from their point of view, and reflect back to them that understanding, it's like giving them emotional oxygen.

Improve relationships with others by assuming that they can hear everything you say about them

Most people do not listen with the intent to understand; they listen with the intent to reply.

Be innovative and creative

To dream only of what is ‘possible’ is to be fooled into believing that one is dreaming in the first place.

Negative space is important. When I teach students to read critically I advise them to look for what the author isn't saying just as carefully as for what he or she is.

You know, sometimes I feel like I walk around with a target on my back with the films I make.

I love eye shadows that are shimmery and playing with colors. There's just more you can do with your eyes.

I don't believe so much in the value of a single picture anymore. I don't really photograph for the wall.

I'm not against architecture per se, I'm just against bad architecture.

It seems that everyone has their own inexplicable fear to have nightmares about. We need nightmares to keep ourselves entertained, and fend off the contentment that we all fear and abhor so much.

I have a huge issue with blackface.

I don't mind UFO's and ghost stories, it's just that I tend to give value to the storyteller rather than to the story itself.
