I think that there's a hidden darkness in all of us!

What is of most moment of compassion is not feelings of pity but feelings of togetherness.

Soul is our appetite, driving us to eat from the banquet of life. People filled with the hunger of soul take food from every dish before them, whether it be sweet or bitter.

Facing the darkness, admitting the pain, allowing the pain to be pain, is never easy. This is why courage - big-heartedness - is the most essential virtue on the spiritual journey. But if we fail to let pain be pain - and our entire patriarchal culture refuses to let this happen - then pain will haunt us in nightmarish ways. We will become pain's victims instead of the healers we might become.

After 'Lost', I never need to take a job for the money again.

If you look closely at a tree you'll notice it's knots and dead branches, just like our bodies. What we learn is that beauty and imperfection go together wonderfully.

I'm sorry, but I can't make a movie with the blonde from 'ER' who is starring in every single bad romantic comedy.
