Letting go of someone we love is the hardest thing we will ever do. Some people never surrender to love for the fear of being hurt. But to not have loved, to not have felt the immense joy it brings, would have been a far worse kind of death.

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

What I’ve learned through my meditation is a sense of equanimity, a sense of all things being equal.

At 11 years old I made a very definitive decision. And my decision was that I wanted to be happy.

When 9/11 happened, the world, certainly in the United States of America, there was a unity. There was this sense of unity. And I have to say just from a personal level, it really felt good. We all felt the same way.

I really think that to a lot of people hair is everything. Bad hair takes over everything, it really does. I think if somebody has bad hair it doesn't matter what else is happening.

I'll have a lot of wrinkles on my face, but I feel like my heart will be fat and full.
