I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.

My mother was a professional sick person; she took a lot of pain pills. There are many people like that. It's just how they are used to getting attention. I always remember she's the daughter of alcoholics who'd leave her alone at Christmas time.

I'm always trying to complicate things. For some reason I'll go, "Well, maybe I can get that in," and stuff like that. I always make it really hard for myself.

What’s yours? How will you serve the world? What do they need that your talent can provide? That’s all you have to figure out.

I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it's not the answer.

I’ve often said that I wish people could realize all their dreams and wealth and fame, so that they could see that it’s not where they’re gonna find their sense of completion. Like many of you, I was concerned about going out into the world and doing something bigger than myself, until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself. My soul is not contained within the limits of my body, my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.

Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Risk being seen in all of your glory.
