I came to Ottawa with the firm belief that the only people in this country who should have guns are police officers and soldiers.

... protection of life is NOT a legitimate use for a firearm in this country sir! Not! That is expressly ruled out!

It's true that the judgement of what firearms should be prohibited will be decided by the government of the day - and shouldn't it be that way?

True Success adds value to others

Life is so urgent and necessitates living slow. It's only the amateurs-and that I've been, and it's been ugly-who thinks slow and urgent are contradictory.

I love musicals and I love Broadway.

I grew up overnight on that day, Dec. 27, 2007.

The history of a man is in his character.

All fame ever does for you is get attention for the work you really want to do.

The camera's only job is to get out of the way of making photographs.

All significant battles are fought within self.

The fly that touches honey cannot use it's wings; so too the soul that clings to spiritual sweetness ruins it's freedom and hinders contemplation.

It's the beginning of opening to love. Even if there's not much feeling of compassion toward oneself, just say, "It's okay, sweetheart," or "I'm sorry and I love you."
