I am living proof that no matter how bad life gets, it gets better.

Being happy doesn't mean that everything is perfect. It means that you've decided to look beyond the imperfections.

One day your life will flash before your eyes. Make sure it's worth watching

As soon as I go into a Starbucks I take off my sunglasses. I want to be recognised and I want free coffee.

He who can conceal his joys, is greater than he who can hide his griefs

Everyone must decide for himself whether it is better to have a brief but more intensely felt existence or to live a long and ordinary life.

I can't stand it when people say, "If you're writing a novel, you should read this and that." Because it's like giving someone another person's prescription. How do you know that's what they need?

Rather than spend millions getting film stars, I am quite happy to be brand ambassador myself.
