I think that was probably one of the biggest revelations, is leisure is really in the eyes of the beholder...

A gift, like a good friend drawing a personal road map out of the crazy busy swirl of our overloaded lives.

What often matters more than the activity we're doing at a moment in time is how we feel about it.

As work weeks get longer and leisure time shrinks, people are becoming sicker, more distracted, absent, unproductive, and less innovative.

Our perception of time is indeed our reality.

I take solace in knowing that some of the steps I took can help other people.

As long as you're pushing men to stay at work, you're pushing women to stay home.

Busyness is now the social norm that people feel they must conform to, Burnett says, or risk being outcasts.

I'm a big believer in education. If people learn the truth, they'll see the benefit if they have gender neutral policies.

The light of the world will illuminate within you when you fast and purify yourself.

I'm a great bowler. I was in a couple of leagues as a kid.

I'm not sure that I have a favorite either on-screen or in the books! Whenever I'm writing, I'm always really excited to dive back into each character.

There has always been a correlation between money and art.
