I would go out into the desert. The desert was my teacher. I didn't know about gurus and wise people-I wasn't a reader.

Life is simple. Everything happens for you, not to you. Everything happens at exactly the right moment, neither too soon nor too late. You don't have to like it... it's just easier if you do.

Blood's not thicker than money.

I don't cook. I think they named the 'Mike'-rowave after me.

Edinburgh is so cultural and such a beautiful place to walk around.

If you do not have boundaries, you do not have a path.

The heavens forbid But that our loves and comforts should increase Even as our days do grow!
