Ask for what you want and be prepared to get it!

Life is pure adventure, and the sooner we realize that, the quicker we will be able to treat life as art.

Being free is being able to accept people for what they are, and not try to understand all they are or be what they are.

You are the sum total of everything you've seen, heard, eaten, smelled, been told, forgot- it's all right there.

We write for the same reason that we walk, talk, climb mountains or swim the oceans — because we can. We have some impulse within us that makes us want to explain ourselves to other human beings. That’s why we paint, that’s why we dare to love someone- because we have the impulse to explain who we are. Not just how tall we are, or thin… but who we are internally… perhaps even spiritually. There’s something, which impels us to show our inner-souls. The more courageous we are, the more we succeed in explaining what we know.

Stand up straight and realize who you are, that you tower over your circumstances. You are a child of God. Stand up straight.

My mother had said me, "All right, you've been raised, so don't let anybody else raise you. You know the difference between right and wrong. Do right. And remember - you can always come home." And she continued to liberate me until she died. On the night she died, I went to the hospital. I told my mom, "Let me tell you about yourself. You deserved a great daughter, and you got one. And you liberated me to be one. So if it's time for you to go, you may have done everything God brought you here to do."
