I'm the luckiest unlucky person.

Not many people have had as much bad luck as I have, but not many people have had as much good luck, either.

It's not the child's responsibility to teach the parent who they are. It's the parent's responsibility to learn who the child is.

I start crying when certain things come up, certain memories, certain feelings, and it's intense. But I think it's good for me - and therapeutic.

Life can very genuinely and realistically pile things on. It doesn't dole out the heartache and pain, or joy, perfectly.

When anything huge happens to me, I always think, this isn't my moment, this is a moment.

An agony. The exit like the entrance - but reserved. A palindrome: gut-tug.

If each of my words were a drop of water, you would see through them and glimpse what I feel: gratitude, acknowledgement.

Just because one is spiritual doesn't mean that one doesn't like crocodile, cashmere. We live in a material world. We still experience these things. It doesn't mean to completely disregard them.

The qualities of creativity and genius are within you, awaiting your decision to match up with the power of intention.

Take a microphone out of my hands, and I'm just plain folks.
