The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth.

You don't have to tell a child not to bully. You know, you talk at kids, they don't hear you, but when you give them a visceral experience, then they have something to remember.

One of Buddhism’s main practices is understanding and experiencing compassion, and how that ultimately is a road to happiness.

We are born with the seed of joy; it is up to us to nurture it.

I believe that life is about doing. It's about changing. It's about transitioning. I can't imagine, as a human being, not being able to grow.

When you're young, you start looking at what you want to do - not just who you want to be, but what you want to do. And I think the tenacity to say, "I'm going to perfect that," is the beginning of a work ethic. It's the beginning of a talent.

All I ever wanted to be was happy.
