When my father died in my arms it had such a profound affect on me that at that very moment when my dad passed I realized that I needed to face my own fears.

What you see is what you get.

It's so funny looking back, but my so-called overnight success actually took 15 years. I remember when I didn't have any money, and my only car was mom's Hyundai.

Magic speaks to the child in all of us. No matter how sophisticated we become, there's still a part of us who wants to believe in an alternative reality, where we can defy the laws of nature.

Reality is perspective. All you have to do is Believe.

Pain is a beautiful thing. When you feel pain, you know you're alive.

When you think like a child your imagination is free and anything is possible.

I'm a workaholic. I work and work and work.

Freedom, where are you? Who holds you back? [...] The mother of wit and pleasure, Oh freedom!

Our technology has already outstripped our ability to control it.

The source is within you. And this whole world is springing up from it.

Admiration and love are like being intoxicated with champagne; judgment and friendship are like being enlivened.

If you have not done so yet, decide to decide.

Success is sometimes the outcome of a whole string of failures.
