At the end of my life I want to be able to say I contributed more than I criticized.

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

If there's a feeling you have, other people have it. If there's something weird about your life, other people have lived it. If there's something kooky about your body, other people have that, too. We're not alone. There's some kind of tremendous relief in that and I think it can only be expressed in belly laughter. This tremendous relief that happens the millisecond we realize, it's not just me. That's what good laughter is about. It's about knowing that you're not alone.

Do you light up when your kids are coming in the room or do you become the instant critic?

When you ask people about love, they tell you about heartbreak.

What makes something better is connection.

Vulnerability sounds like truth and feels like courage.
