A mind is so closely shaped by the body and destined to serve it that only one mind could possibly arise in it. No body, never mind.

We are not thinking machines that feel; rather, we are feeling machines that think.

More may have been learned about the brain and the mind in the 1990s - the so-called decade of the brain - than during the entire previous history of psychology and neuroscience.

A conscious mind is a mind with a self in it.

There is no such thing as a disembodied mind. The mind is implanted in the brain, and the brain is implanted in the body.

I continue to be fascinated by the fact that feelings are not just the shady side of reason but that they help us to reach decisions as well.

Emotions are enmeshed in the neural networks of reason.

The self is a perpetually recreated neurobiological state.

Consciousness begins when brains acquire the power, the simple power I must add, of telling a story.

The problem that we, as living organisms, face - and not we only, humans, but any living organism faces - is the management of life.

Rather than being a luxury, emotions are a very intelligent way of driving an organism toward certain outcomes.

Creativity is not a gift, it’s a mindset that you practice

It's funny as I get older I'm reverting to my roots - I want to plant stuff.

I just wanted to do something that would freak people out. That's the best thing to do.

Sometimes when you work in advertising you'll get a product that's really garbage and you have to make it seem fantastic, something that is essential to the continued quality of life.

Don't change just so people will like you! Like yourself and your relationships will change. There are people who will love you for - YOU.

In my mind, there are too many copycat web products out there that are doing the same thing.

Deep in the fundamental heart of mind and Universe there is a reason.

Selfishness is that detestable vice which no one will forgive in others, and no one is without himself.

'Born This Way' is shaping up to be creative ecstasy.

Maybe there's some unquenchable question that I keep asking the universe that I can't get an answer to.
