We're creating a little niche for ourselves instead of working the whole canvas.

Our tendency in life is to avoid things that frighten us. But in order to become whole, we need to go deeper and deeper into ourselves by reaching further and further into the things we fear.

In every area, working with what you habitually reject is one of the best ways to facilitate growth and transformation.

I honor businesses for what they do, I honor nonprofits for what they do, I honor government for what it does, and then I invite everyone to the table so that together we can come up with innovative and broad-based solutions that can serve as many people as possible. The fewer or less diverse voices you invite to the table, the smaller and narrower your solution will be and the fewer people it will serve.

I always have this red nose in my pocket, and if it looks like I'm taking things too seriously, or the person I'm talking to is taking them too seriously, I put the nose on. It doesn't matter what we're doing or talking about, it doesn't matter if we agree or disagree, the nose changes everything.

I always tell people that if you get upset over what someone says, imagine him or her with a clown's nose on and you won't get so angry.

whatever judgment we make is a subjective one we're making now, and that it could change.
