To become romantic artists, we must pierce the armor that hides our hearts, and the piercing is not comfortable.

I want to be a cheerleader for women who have never even considered running for office or being involved in a campaign, but who in the quietness of their hearts might think, 'Why not me?'

Generation after generation can't just be loaded with more and more nuclear weapons and not ultimately dance to that music.

Every relationship is a gift exchange.

Sometimes, when I talk to someone who has just been diagnosed with cancer or some other illness, I'll remind them: "If you were honest with yourself, you were depressed before this happened. And if this were over you would be happy for a couple of weeks, a couple of months, and then something else would come along."

Miracles are happening all the time, but if your eyes aren't open and your ears aren't open and your mind's not open and your heart's not open - then even though the miracles are there - you're not!

The universe is already programmed to give each of us a year of happiness. Our challenge lies in programming ourselves to receive it.
