I love Frank Capra. He believed in the goodness of people and one man's ability to fight and often triumph.

Love is the essential energy of the universe. It is the force that puts the stars in the firmament, and it makes the blood run through the veins.

The bike accident caused me to start talking about spiritual truths. This accident - where I faced my own death - compelled me to talk about these truths and try to make a movie about them.

As I "won," I didn't feel the fruits of that. I felt the fruits when I served others, when I gave myself away. . . . I've always seen my life as an experiment. I just want to go to what works. As I felt the charity aspect in my life, the giving aspect, I felt a power and I've walked more into that.

TRUTH: When a child believes he must win to be worthy, when young adults define themselves by what they do and not who they are, it is a kind of slavery a slave master would envy.

Definition is the death of discovery.

When an individual changes in even a small way he immediately changes the world around him. And that concentric circle moves out and changes everything.
