Working with Monk is like falling down a dark elevator shaft.

One positive thought produces millions of positive vibrations.

Invest yourself in everything you do. There's fun in being serious.

God breathes through us so completely...So gently we hardly feel it...yet it is our everything.

You can play a shoestring if you're sincere.

If you just kind of live a regular life and make good 'Hollywood' money, you have a certain freedom.

Love as a verb. Love as a commitment.
