I got a heart tattooed on my foot. It's my first tattoo.

All I ever wanted to be was happy.

Why not just live in the moment, especially if it has a good beat?

I wrote the book because I wanted to be able to share some things that I had learned and as pompous as that may sound, as you get to a certain point in life, you figure so what am I doing?

I practice Buddhist philosophy and contemplation but I don't know if I'm more of anything.

I've come to believe that seeking happiness is not a frivolous pursuit. It's honorable and necessary. And most people forget even to thing about it.

So maybe that's what the difference is, is that when you intend to be happy, then you figure out ways to sustain your happiness or your ability to feel moments of joy in your life.
