The more I traveled the more I realized that fear makes strangers of people who should be friends.

I would say the biggest risk I always take is going in front of a live audience. There's nothing more risky to do. You have to really leave yourself open to your own authenticity, and you find that out pretty quick.

In terms of my life, I guess I want to share whatever I've learned really, which is basically one thing: know yourself, look for yourself, know what to look for, cherish it, be honest, be authentic, even if it hurts your feelings. That's not bad.

... when things get rough, a breakthrough is just on the other side of the pain.

It's not going to be about money. It's going to be about who am I, what have I done and where am I going.

no one ever really leaves Hollywood. No one really leaves unless they are called away by God. Even then, the impulse would be to come back again and make a movie about the experience.

All life is a boomerang. We receive what we give.
