Never let fear of short term heartache interfere with your long term happiness.

Words, and faith, will only take you as far as your actions allow.

Stop giving the best part of you to those unworthy of that gift.

Don't let life's challenges discourage you. Some things are just out of your control. Make it work for you! The most painful lessons of the past can teach you how to survive in the present .

You can't be much good to others, if you're no good to yourself.

If you truly love who you are other's opinions won’t even matter.

If you have the desire, passion and enthusiasm to do something, nothing in the world will stop you.

Don't spend so much time chasing your future that you run over your present.

Once I had been introduced to depression, I realized if I wanted to help my friend and preserve our friendship, I needed to understand what the illness was all about.

Don’t hate on someone whose hard work placed them on the road to success, while your envy and ill-intent put you on a path toward failure.

People are wonderful. Each one has a story, each something to give, each knows something interesting, something that can make your life richer.

Directors, producers can make you look good or make you look bad.

Loosing you would be the only thing that could destroy me

I think if you use Twitter and social media as your main source of information you are an idiot, but I think most people who use it know better, so I kind of enjoy it.

Attention to detail and a perfectionist instinct, far from stimulating action, are character qualities that lead to renunciation. Better to dream than to be.

I don't build a house without predicting the end of the present social order.

The knowledge of the past stays with us. To let go is to release the images and emotions, the grudges and fears, the clingings and disappointments of the past that bind our spirit.

But the muse won’t always cooperate and she will never be coerced. Sometimes she’d rather take a nap or see a mid-afternoon movie.

No child should be permitted to grow up without exercise for imagination. It enriches life for him. It makes things wonderful and beautiful.

People want other people to know that they share our sensibility even if they're not exactly sure what that sensibility is.
