People don't understand what happiness is, so they have an idea of what will make them happy, but it never does.

I don't meet many people that are evil. I meet human beings who are flawed, who are mentally ill and have enormous problems, but I don't think I've ever met someone who was a totally dark energy that had no humanity or sense of love or affection for anything in their life. That's very rare.

I would rather be loved than have money and all that other stuff.

Everyone responds to kindness.

Always walk towards open doors. And if they slam shut in your face, kick that sucker in and keep going.

Relationships are like sharks. They've got to keep going into deeper, colder water, sometimes scarier, darker territories ... to stay alive.

Tibetan Buddhism had an enormous impact on me.
