Without courage you cannot practice any of the other virtues.

Talent is like electricity. We don't understand electricity. We use it.

Take the blinders from your vision take the padding from your ears and confess you've heard me crying and admit you've seen my tears.

I know for sure that love saves me and that it is here to save us all.

I like good food. People want a certain taste, but when they're offered something else, they'll overeat. If they really are looking for chicken and someone gives them pork chops, they'll say, "I will have another." And that's because their satisfaction is not reached. So I thought I would make great food, but eat less of it. I tried it and I've taken off over 40 pounds.

Loving someone liberates the lover as well as the beloved. And that kind of love comes with age.

Creativity or talent, like electricity, is something I don’t understand but something I’m able to harness and use. While electricity remains a mystery, I know I can plug into it and light up a cathedral or a synagogue or an operating room and use it to help save a life. Or I can use it to electrocute someone. Like electricity, creativity makes no judgment. I can use it productively or destructively. The important thing is to use it. You can’t use up creativity. The more you use it, the more you have.
