The thing that brings people to wail at a wall, or face Mecca, or to go to church, is a search for that feeling of purity.

I was eccentric, even as a kid. I was an early reader, an early talker. I was very curious in a way that maybe the other kids weren't. I was a little more outgoing.

If you fixate on the worst-case scenario and it actually happens, you’ve lived it twice.

Ironic that in order to do my life's work, I had to quit my day job.

My whole life, meeting people is like a blind date, because I feel like they've already seen the video on me.

I don't have any affirmations, I don't have any of that stuff. My natural state is to look at things as possibilities and as opportunities.

They did something once that slurred my speech, and I thought, "Oh, man, you're messing with my brain. It's freaking me out."
