Someone doesn't think immediately, "I want to be a lobbyist."

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

If you don't fully take every moment and love every moment and every person that you're with, your life will be over before you realise.

I feel like the bigger risks that I take, the more I learn. I know that I learn more from my failures than successes.

I think both nature and grace live within everyone, and I always strive to be in a world of grace and compassion.

In a world that daily disconnects further from truth, more and more people accept the virtual in place of the real, and all things virtual are also malleable.

Speak, move, act in peace, as if you were in prayer. In truth, this is prayer.

I was raised never to carp about things and never to moan, because in vaudeville, which is my background, you just got on with it through all kinds of adversities.

Remember, one just man causes the Devil greater affliction than a million blind believers.

It crossed our minds early on that the more an audience cared - we were working before, on average, 240, live people. If you could get them caring - the more they cared, the harder they laughed.

He who is in love is wise and is becoming wiser.
