Boundary violations are deeply experienced.

Making amends is not only saying the words but also being willing to listen to how your behavior caused another’s pain, and then the really hard part…changing behavior.

The more severe the dysfunction you experienced growing up, the more difficult boundaries are for you.

The greater the pain associated with love, the more likely a person is to be attracted to others who will inflict this pain…for isn’t this what love is? Hurt people tend to hurt other people.

It is one thing to know about your dysfunctional habits but quite another to change them.

If you are looking for love under rocks or bringing home water moccasins, you might be confusing love and pain.

Sitting on the hot seat of change requires much courage, patience, and persistence.

If we want to improve, first we have to recognize our own maladaptive coping skills, called codependency, then change.

Change will not successfully happen unless the emotional component is solved.

Putting labels on others creates a black hole of disregard where judgment thrives and schisms deepen.

Change is hard, difficult, painful, and often messy

I'm not a politician and don't want any part of politics.

When you're a young player, you try to prove yourself with your numbers and you try to prove your worth to the team. That can be an adverse situation because you can try to do too much.

I want to be known as a great businessman.

I'm a big list maker. But if I cross off too many tasks and it's hard to see the remaining ones, I have to start a new list.

What's the difference between beautiful and ugly?

But what do I have? The things I'm told and the things I tell, that's all. And as far as I know, that never yet made anyone fly.

I went to art school for fine art and then I started doing performance art, and then I started making fun of performance art, and it turned into comedy.

In general don't start a startup you're not willing to work on for ten years.

There is, apparently, some law of nature decreeing that all home construction must double in its projected cost and take four times longer than originally anticipated.

Everything about art has become problematic; its inner life, its relation to society, even its right to exist.
