Meditation means seeing God within you, and love is seeing God in the person next to you.

Shiva is chidambaram, like the inner sky. Shiva is the inner sky of consciousness

They all laughed when I said I wanted to be a comedian. Well, they're not laughing now.

I think it's really important with kids just to show them the beauty of nature and teach them a profound respect for nature.

I know we just met today, but I gotta see you tomorrow. I know this is our first date, I don't expect you to swallow.
