Transcendental meditation is like a car, a vehicle that allows you to go within. It's a mental technique.

I started Transcendental Meditation in 1973 and have not missed a single meditation ever since. Twice a day, every day. It has given me effortless access to unlimited reserves of energy, creativity and happiness deep within.

If a scene isn't honest, it stands out like a sore thumb.

Mankind was not meant to suffer -- bliss is our nature. The individual is cosmic. Let's rock.

I'm not a political person. I don't understand politics, I don't understand the concept of two sides and I think that probably there's good on both sides, bad on both sides, and there's a middle ground, but it never seems to come to the middle ground and it's very frustrating watching it and seemingly we're not moving forward.

Man is evolving...but it's difficult to see his progress with a Western perception of time. The Hindus think of time in much larger segments. They watch the hour hand of the clock while we in the West are preoccupied with the second hand.

Film can't just be a long line of bliss. There's something we all like about the human struggle.
