The reality is, we can change. We can change ourselves. We can change our minds. We can change our hearts. And therefore the universe changes.
Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.
I don't regret anything. Everything happens for a reason-it's part of the healing process. Life is a healing process.
Relationships are like sharks. They've got to keep going into deeper, colder water, sometimes scarier, darker territories ... to stay alive.
Everyone responds to kindness.
I always remember what Bob Dylan said in that [Martin] Scorsese documentary on him. When he was asked about Joan Baez's complaints about the way he treated her when they were together, Dylan laughed and said, "It's impossible to be in love and wise at the same time."
What we all have in common is an appreciation of kindness and compassion; all the religions have this. We all lean towards love.
I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.
When you get up in the morning, set your motivations.
I have made plenty of mistakes. The key to life is to learn from them. I have been a little too introspective, but I think that stemmed from insecurity or shyness. I took a long time to grow up.
People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.
I have no sense of time, and I'm a dreamer.
I'm younger than I once was. Internally. Less self-conscious. Less insecure.
I don't meet many people that are evil. I meet human beings who are flawed, who are mentally ill and have enormous problems, but I don't think I've ever met someone who was a totally dark energy that had no humanity or sense of love or affection for anything in their life. That's very rare.
As custodians of the planet it is our responsibility to deal with all species with kindness, love, and compassion. That these animals suffer through human cruelty is beyond understanding. Please help to stop this madness.
If you have any question in your mind, don't do it. If you go in thinking it's going to fix something that's wrong, don't do it.
I can’t remember that I was ever looking for anything. I was waiting for something to touch me. It’s like, I’ll be open to it, and see if it moves me. There has to be a "falling in love" moment.
The drive for happiness is vital; it's what keeps us in motion.
The idea that you're completing someone else in a marriage to me is death. That to me is a false start and most of us are usually taught that ... you've got to stand on your own. Then you can build something extraordinary.
There are times when telling lies are not a bad thing. It can be a compassionate thing. But to make it benign, you have to be aware of your compassionate reasons for telling that lie.
I cry every chance I get.
I've got a lot of opportunities, a lot of love in my life, a lot of things going for me. Still, it's not complete. I know this is not the whole thing. There's much more.
I don't think that bravery is about skin. Bravery is about a willingness to show emotional need.
I think life is self-examination. Certainly the voyage that one takes.
Anything that's expanding the mind and heart is happiness. But it's not a goal.
