Creativity is God's gift to us. Using our creativity is our gift back to God.

Growth is an erratic forward movement: two steps forward, one step back. Remember that and be very gentle with yourself.

What we really want to do is what we are really meant to do. When we do what we are meant to do, money comes to us, doors open for us, we feel useful, and the work we do feels like play to us.

The voice of our original self is often muffled, overwhelmed, even strangled, by the voices of other people’s expectations.

I have learned, as a rule of thumb, never to ask whether you can do something. Say, instead, that you are doing it. Then fasten your seat belt. The most remarkable things follow.

Perfectionism is not a quest for the best. It is a pursuit of the worst in ourselves, the part that tells us that nothing we do will ever be good enough - that we should try again.

It takes constant vigilance not to slip into negativity or simple apathy. It takes courage to believe over any given period of time that we are getting better and not sliding into decline.

As you move toward a dream, the dream moves toward you.

Creativity requires faith. Faith requires that we relinquish control.

If we lean into what we love instead of soldiering toward what we 'should,' our pace quickens, our energy rises, optimism sets in. What we love is nutritious for us.

What we focus on, we empower and enlarge. Good multiplies when focused upon. Negativity multiplies when focused upon. The choice is ours: Which do we want more of?

Days that lift us like a wave, when you feel you could live forever.

The more power you have, the less you can truly say. That’s the irony.

Embrace love and compassion with all your spirit. Understand that they never hurt or offend, they just heal and empower.

Although I don't take myself very seriously, I do take my work extraordinarily seriously.

In choosing a companion, it is necessary to study the disposition, the inheritance, and training of the one with whom you are contemplating making life’s journey.

Negative emotions are like unwelcome guests. Just because they show up on our doorstep doesn't mean they have a right to stay.

I always want to win because I never want to sit out on the sidelines outside.

I thought I'd never do film, let alone television. I was a diehard theater nut.

The truth is: If you knew you could handle anything that came your way, what would you have to fear. The answer is: NOTHING!

Today should always be our most wonderful day.
