I'm not one of those people who is trying to act like I don't sleep. I used to be like, "Oh, I only need four hours." Now I need exactly 5 1/2 to 6 in order to feel like I've done well.

In order to be truly happy, you must live along with, and you must stand for something larger than yourself.

Your life is a journey of learning to love yourself first and then extending that love to others in every encounter.

The best of times is now.

The greatest lesson of life is that you are responsible for your life.

If it doesn't feel right, don't do it. That is the lesson, and that lesson alone will save you a lot of grief.

I am disappointed by this controversy surrounding A Million Little Pieces because I rely on the publishers to define the category that a book falls within and also the authenticity of the work.
