It's been my experience that the longer I do yoga, the more I want to know, the more I am able to understand and the less judgmental I am.

The quality of my life has changed dramatically - not the events - but the way I handle them and my priorities and my sense of drama.

If you're a baby about the media, as I was, you can't imagine what it's like when the great approval machine shines its beam on you, when every time you cross the street someone comes out of a manhole to talk about your haircut.

I have always felt that the way we treat animals is a pretty good indicator of the compassion we are capable of for the human race.

My parents made no money whatsoever, but they really knew how to see, as artists. So a big adventure might be, on a hot, dreadful day with no place to go, to go out and draw our chickens with pastels. My parents gave me a sense of wonder.
