Pause and remember - Everyone gets discouraged and feels lost at times. Don't worry - life will get better. A new way is being made for you. Keep moving forward even if it's just baby steps.

Pause and remember - Every single event in your life, especially the difficult lessons, have made you smarter, stronger, and wiser than you were yesterday. Be thankful!

Pause and remember - Nothing lasts forever. Better days are coming, but they will come faster with faith.

Pause and remember - When you fight reality, you will lose every time. Once you accept the situation for what it truly is, not what you want it to be, you are then free to move forward.

Pause and remember - Stop procrastinating! Wishing is wonderful but action is what it takes to make it happen.

Pause and remember - Every morning is a new page in the story of your life. You are creating your life at every moment. Think wisely about the day you want to create for yourself.

Pause and remember - Making the wrong assumptions causes pain and suffering for everyone.

Pause and remember - Slow and steady will get you where you want to go. If you put too much pressure on yourself for results too quickly, you will quickly give up.

Pause and remember - At any moment you have the power to say 'this is enough' and radically change the course of your destiny. Have the faith and courage to follow your hearts calling.

Pause and remember - You will have a lot more time and energy to spend on yourself when you stop worrying and wasting time on how others need to change.

Pause and remember-- Every moment is a choice. Every thought, word and deed is creating your future. Choose wisely and positively!

When you forget about the how, go back to the why.

I only hope that we don't lose sight of one thing - that it was all started by a mouse.

I began to think that my time had come, as the saying is.

All serious art is being destroyed by commerce. Most people don't want art to be disturbing. They want it to be escapist. I don't think art should be escapist. That's a waste of time.

When I lose my column again, I'm sure I'll get hungry again. Maybe it's having a kid, but it's probably just getting to do what I always wanted to do - I'm really not that hungry.

Nothing panics politicians like $4 a gallon gas.

I feel the same way about clothes as I do about food. I want everything.

Architects are the new comedians.

I shouldn't make movies anymore. I should go to a lunatic asylum.
