“Intelligence is just one dimension of ability. Don’t limit yourself to it. Open up to instinct, intuition, creativity and thus possibility.”

You won’t ever build your confidence from a perception of lack. For it grows and evolves from realising who you are and what you already have.

By simple mathematics giving is key to the world you seek to live in. If I take I alone gain. If I give or share then two at least are enriched.

What people say and feel about you when you’ve left a room is precisely your job while you are in it.

We’re merely one tree with various types, shapes and sizes of leaves that all wave differently in the breeze.

The head thinks. The heart knows.

Our abilities and possibilities are at one and the same time very limited and quite infinite dependent on the depth of our relationship to our ‘self’, others and life itself.

Our life stories are at one and the same time reality, fallacy and fantasy.

While being you and truly sharing what you do will bring happiness to others, you won’t find contentment merely trying to keep others happy.

It’s not just a question of doing what you love for a living. It’s about doing what you love with love. Then your life and all be transformed.

Thoughts will lead you in circles. Silence will bring you back to your centre.

On any day – in any given event – you have to believe in yourself and back yourself 100%

If four of you are playing hide and seek you’ll only ever find the other three. For you are already right here. So what on earth is it that you’re looking for? You are the very thing that you seek.

Love is the only answer to every question. It is the only thing that will serve you in every situation. It is the route and the destination. It is medication, liberation and should be at the heart of and expression of your vocation.

Role models are only of limited use. For no-one is as important, potentially powerful and as key in your life and world as you.

Some strive to make themselves great. Others help others see and find their own greatness. It’s the latter who really enrich the world we live in

Our life stories are largely constructed and without mindfulness can prove destructive.

Now my ability to notice things and respond to things and be here is far more profound. With that comes happiness, with it comes sadness, but it’s a beautiful life.

The first qualification for a historian is to have no ability to invent.

On the onside, first there is God, then Sourav Ganguly.

Every actor has a strength, and sometimes you just respond to things that you see yourself better at. I’m aware of what I can and can’t do.

As an actor, you people-watch, you observe. And the more famous you become, the sad thing is you lose the ability to do that. Instead of people-watching, you become the focus of attention.

The artist is nothing without the gift, but the gift is nothing without work.

Intelligence increases mere physical ability one half. The use of the head abridges the labor of the hands.

The ability to convert ideas to things is the secret of outward success.
