Los Angeles is peopled by waiters and carpenters and drivers who are there to be actors.

There's nothing I like more than picking fresh vegetables then putting them in the dinner you make that night.

I get up at sunrise. I'm a Buddhist, so I chant in the morning. My wife and I sit and have coffee together, but then it's list-making time. I have carpentry projects. We have roads we keep in repair. It's not back-breaking, but it's certainly aerobic and mildly strenuous.

Dancers are a work of art - they are the canvas on which their work is painted.

There is no such thing as a weekend for me when I'm at home on my ranch in Oregon.

Every single unfortunate thing that happens, including, for instance, the murder of my parents, I am responsible for. I am responsible for being the son of two people who got murdered. I didn't cause their murder. But if I'm suffering because of it, it's my karma that I have manifested in this lifetime in this particular set of circumstances.

I'm an inherently happy person. It comes from the inside, which means you can achieve happiness under any circumstance.
