I don't want to constantly be writing about terrorism and strife.

There are many different rivers that lead into despair: there's poverty; there's political repression; there's gender apartheid - there's a sense of culture loss; there's religious fanaticism.

Scientology is probably the most stigmatized religion in America already.

IRS is very poorly equipped to make a distinction between what is a religion and what is not.

I like the serendipitous surprises of reality.

Unlike the talent for war, the ability to make peace has always been rare.

From the very beginning, when you go into Scientology your world narrows down very quickly.

Journalism is a flawed profession, but it has a self-correcting mechanism. The rule of journalism is: talk to everybody.

I get very antsy when I'm not occupied.

You can't tell a story linearly if you want people to understand.

From the very beginning of this movement, Scientology has always been a very closeted organization. That aura of secrecy is something that the present-day management continues.

How unjust then to meet that person you love, and be kept away from them only because ones bed is made of hay, and the other, feathers.

The best gift you can give me is a book.

I was always an observer, even as a child. I could be satisfied to sit in a car for 3 hours and just look at the street go by while my mother went shopping.

Home is where people love you, don't forget that.

The secret of not having worries, for me at least, is to have ideas.

When I have time off, all I want to do is do nothing.

In my opinion, life is more important than show business.

Honestly I'm not a huge TV person. The only show that I've seen every episode of is 'Pretty Little Liars.' It's my favorite show. I wish I could get into other shows, but I just don't have time!

Please don't confuse love and logic ... They aren't even remotely related.

I don't mind competition at all. I mean, the record business is the most competitive business in the world, probably. So I'm used to that. In a weird way, it kind of makes you work harder.
