I'm very much afraid of being mad - that's my one fear.

Humans make the mistake of believing that it is their right to survive. Species die out on this planet all the time without anyone noticing. The planet will still be there, and we must lose this attitude of divine right, that something will save us.

I think the time is right for yoga, we really are living in a very complex time - a time of great turmoil and change. Yoga is a good antidote to all that...It is almost like music in a way; there's no end to it.

Like music, yoga is a journey -- one that is long enough so you keep developing, and keep learning. I don't see an end to it.

Be yourself, no matter what they say.

I don't need to manufacture trauma in my life to be creative. I have a big enough reservoir of sadness or emotional trauma to last me.

A gentleman will walk but never run.. it takes a man to suffer ignorance and smile.. be yourself no matter what they say.
