Do not confuse beauty with beautiful. Beautiful is a human judgment. Beauty is All. The difference is everything.

The universe is in the habit of making beauty. There are flowers and songs, snowflakes and smiles, acts of great courage, laughter between friends, a job well done, the smell of fresh baked bread. Beauty is everywhere.

I played football for a huge portion of my life, all the way through college actually.

I'm either going to have the career I want doing films, or I'll do something else - I'll be gone.

The system is not working. That is how a paradigm shift begins: the established way of seeing the world no longer functions.

I consider Otto Rank to be one of the great spiritual giants of the twentieth century, a genius as a psychologist and a saint as a human being. Though vilified by his original community of Freudians, he never became bitter. He died a feminist and deeply committed to social justice, in 1939....His deep understanding of creativity makes him a mentor for all of us living in a postmodern world....I believe that Art and Artist, especially chapters 12 to 14, may well emerge as the most valuable psychoanalysis of the spiritual life in our time.

I directed an episode of 'Party of Five' toward the very end of that show. It was a great experience.
