As soon as the mind and mind identification return; you're no longer yourself but a mental image of yourself, and you start playing games and roles again to get your ego needs met.

The past has no power over the present moment.

The primary cause of unhappiness is never the situation but your thoughts about it.

When you become comfortable with uncertainty, infinite possibilities open up in your life.

When you complain, you make yourself a victim. Leave the situation, change the situation or accept it, all else is madness.

Stop looking outside for scraps of pleasure or fulfillment, for validation, security, or love - you have a treasure within that is infinitely greater than anything the world can offer.

When you live in complete acceptance of what is, that is the end of all drama in your life.

In today's rush we all think too much, seek too much, want too much and forget about the joy of just Being.

Observe your thoughts, don't believe them.

Some changes look negative on the surface but you will soon realize that space is being created in your life for something new to emerge.

You are not separate from the whole. You are one with the sun, the earth, the air. You don’t have a life. You are life.

Without courage, little is done and accomplished.

When you have to do something, you have to do it. Putting it off only makes it worse. Believe me, I know.

It is not your sin - it is your moderation that cries to heaven; your very sparingness in sin cries to heaven!

If you didn't have some sense of idealism, then what is there to sustain you?

I had this sort of idolatry for certain actors who preceded me, people who inspired me, so I'm honored to be that way for young actors.

I wouldn't be the best offensive player if I didn't have a great setter. She serves me up nectar.

God bless Ray Charles. It was such an honor to meet him and sing with him and actually just to watch him sing from just two feet away.

Does a one-legged duck swim in circles?

I never grew up thinking, 'One day I will play so and so' because I wasn't expecting to be an actor at all.
