What I teach is how to go inside and reach that place I call "love consciousness." This is a place of peace and joy that is within all humans.

Happiness is a choice I am making now. Once we understand that and find love consciousness, we learn that this place of internal plenitude needs nothing.

You can have all the external experiences but you have to be the love first.

Often we don't change because we're afraid of what might happen. We cling to what we recognize, even if we are steeped in suffering.

Love is very light, very joyful, very simple and innocent.

By focusing on love and cultivating an internal security, we can start to take the steps in our lives to create profound change.

When we learn to focus on love, grace, and gratitude, life is really quite lovely.

Most people ultimately realize that they can acquire things, change their partner or other things, consume more and still it doesn't work. I'm not criticizing any of this.

I lost everything. When I was 28 years old, I lost my home, my job, my partner. I had many people die in my life. I felt like a total victim.

When we start to heal and perceive what I call love consciousness, we begin to perceive reality.

There's a part of us that is addicted to suffering, that equates love with suffering.

For me winning isn't surprising at all

Save the trees, save the bees, save the whales, save those snails.

We write about what we don't know about what we know.

Every single day, we could be in a motorcar accident, so, we have to carry on with our lives, and not imagine terror around every corner.

I see most of my movies at festivals.

If you're strong enough on the inside, you can handle anything that comes at you on the outside.

God is not there just for emergencies.

Even on my weakest days I get a little bit stronger

If I have to write by a certain time, I can pull through, but usually I just let stuff happen, hanging out with comic friends - or bringing a basic idea on stage and seeing if it goes anywhere.

I watched this documentary on Madonna. I remember I grew up hearing she wanted to rule the world. Actually, she worked really hard - really, really hard.
