You must have love as the core; it takes courage to be willing to constantly tell the truth to each other and risk letting the relationship go.

My trust in a higher power that wants me to survive and have love in my life, is what keeps me moving forward.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

A soulmate is the one person whose love is powerful enough to motivate you to meet your soul, to do the emotional work of self-discovery, of awakening.

The more we stretch the muscle called compassion and generosity, the stronger we get, the better we feel about ourselves, the more loving we become to the world around us.

My rite of passage into my brave new world, life on the road.

It's hard enough doing something bold without jumping into your bad reviews.

I know that Julia has been given to me for my spiritual growth, and this moment is perfect for us both. I know that I love her, and I know she's my soul mate.

My quest these days is to find my long lost inner child, but I'm afraid if I do, I'll end up with food in my hair and way too in love with the cats.

When there is faith, the world is balanced.

Faith is, above all, openness; an act of trust in the unknown.

I've had some success at writing and directing, and I like it. It's infinitely more creative than just acting, and I have things I want to say and do.

Throwaway snapshots come closest to achieving the state of pure picture.

You have to believe the magic to see it.

It taught me to hope, as I had scarcely ever allowed myself to hope before.

I collect human relationships very much the way others collect fine art.

Everybody's got bills to pay. Sometimes you see people just go straight for the money, and that's disappointing.

Anyone who can only write about themselves or their life experiences, in my mind, isn't a very good writer.

I once read that people who study others are wise but those who study themselves are enlightened.
