The grace to be a beginner is always the best prayer for an artist.

We must attend to what our inner guidance is nudging us toward.

When I went in, my editor said, ‘I hope you don’t think you’re a writer.’ And I said, ‘I hope you don’t think I’m a journalist.’ And, uh, turned out we were both right.

In order to thrive as artists we need to be available to the universal flow. When we put a stopper on our capacity for joy by anorectically declining the small gifts of life, we turn aside the larger gifts as well.

Love is the substance of all life. Everything is connected in love, absolutely everything.

As you move toward a dream, the dream moves toward you.

I believe that I am very lucky to have close friends who are faithful. From my friends, I have learned the importance of perseverance.
