Your circumstances do not determine what your life will be; they reveal what kinds of images you have chosen up until now.

When I was growing up, everybody smoked, including me. When I was 14, I started. We all did it. That was just the way it was. And nowadays there's a stigma attached to it. It's a big shift.

People would pull the rug out from under me. So I learnt how to dance on a moving carpet.

I do see more and more people who are moving away from traditional religions that exclude others and have hatred as their basis, as part of their ideologies, that conceptualize an angry God that is going to take retribution on all the people who are not a certain way.

Remember, purpose is about giving...All you can do with your life is to give it away in the service of others.

To sit in judgment of those things which you perceive to be wrong or imperfect is to be one more person who is part of judgment, evil or imperfection.

The last suit that you wear, you don't need any pockets.
