I don't focus on happiness as a goal or an end.

There's no destination. The journey is all that there is, and it can be very, very joyful.

Being obsessed by goals is bad for you. You should set goals, even ambitious goals, regularly. But focus on them only to the extent that they give you direction.

It does not matter whether I am in Hong Kong or Sao Paolo - people always want to talk about toxic bosses and what to do about them.

Once you accept, truly accept, that stuff will happen to you and there is nothing you can do about it, stress miraculously leaves your life.

It's wonderful to be grateful. To have that gratitude well out from deep within you and pour out in waves. Once you truly experience this, you will never want to give it up.

We have the ability to craft a life where we are completely fulfilled. We think it is dependent on outsiders, and to some extent it is, but it is much more dependent on the attitude we bring to life.

I am not a big fan of positive thinking. The term suggests that there is something negative that you have to counteract by being positive. That is an artificial duality.

Many persons swear by positive thinking, and quite a few have been helped by it. Nevertheless, it is not a very effective tool and can be downright harmful in some cases.

Stress appears in your life because you have a rigid view of 'This is the way the world should be,' and the Universe pays scant regard to your desires. And you refuse to accept this.

Galileo got it wrong. The earth does not revolve around the sun. It revolves around you and has been doing so for decades. At least, this is the model you are using.

Respect is and not given, respect is earned.

Life runs in a narrow path to balancing act, convincing tact, and satisfying fact.

I don't hate anyone, at least not for more than 48 minutes, barring overtime.

I'm always after putting people in extreme circumstances. I'm always after not knowing what I'm doing in those extreme circumstances.

Burroughs is the greatest satirical writer since Jonathan Swift.

Horror movies are here to stay, you know? It's not a fad. Even the musical has gone in and out of style from time to time. Horror movies have always been around.

It would be ideal if we could have an uncontrolled flow of information. But we realized you can't do that.

The one hit song that I have tremendous gratitude for is Boots, because it has a life of its own. It's like being identified with a brand name.

Fear's what puts dreams to sleep.

Honestly, if I can plan out a few meals ahead of time, I feel much more organized.
