In my new book, 'Birth,' my goal is to share the path I have traveled in the spiritual sphere and in the business and philanthropic sphere in order to reveal the essential connection between the two.

Doing good holds the power to transform us on the inside, and then ripple out in ever-expanding circles that positively impact the world at large.

Sustainability is the key to our survival on this planet and will also determine success on all levels.

Think good, speak good and do good, to bring about positive change in the world.

Every person - with his or her own skills, abilities and uniqueness - can contribute to others and bring great joy to those that fortune has not smiled upon.

Doing good business - being ethical, being transparent, being caring, implementing values in your business - makes a difference, and you make money at the same time.

In everything I do, whether in business, philanthropy or my personal life, I am guided by my inner truth, my values.

People look at me as spiritual... but I am also very logical, very business-minded. The two come together.

I have always wanted to be a catalyst for bringing about positive change, inspiring others to choose goodness.

Even a smile is a good deed.

Rain with an umbrella while holding hands with your lover is damned sure nice.

I just like music all the way around the board. I can't stick to one thing - I've got to move around.

Let me, tonight look back across the span Twixt dawn and dark, and to my conscience say- Because of some good act to beast or human- The world is better that I lived today.

Love is the kiss in the quiet nest while the leaves are trembling, mirrored in the water.

I judge people based solely on the quality of bands on the black concert t-shirts they wear.

Oh no, I might catch some ghastly disease.

You are so much better than a STUPID piece of metal.
