I have no sense of time, and I'm a dreamer.

The Dalai Lama said that he thinks mother's love is the best symbol for love and compassion, because it is totally disinterested.

The secret of my success is my hairspray.

If people lose their land, they have nothing. You lose your land - you lose your culture, you lose self.

His Holiness [the Dalai Lama] has told me, urgently and repeatedly, that he thinks my photographs are crap. His exact words were, 'These photos are of poor quality. Why is there no sharp focus? There is no clarity!' I said, 'But your Holiness, it's Goyaesque.' And he said, 'No! It's out of focus!'

Mindfulness is a quality that's always there. It's an illusion that there's a meditation and post-meditation period, which I always find amusing, because you're either mindful or you're not.

I know who I am. No one else knows who I am. If I was a giraffe, and someone said I was a snake, I'd think, no, actually I'm a giraffe.
