“Forgiveness means that you do not carry the baggage of an experience.”

Your life is an opportunity to give the gifts that your soul wants to give.

You lose power to the people and circumstances you judge. They capture your attention in the same way that a movie does.

Being harmless means being so strong, so empowered, that the idea of showing power through harm is not even a part of your consciousness.

Scarcity of self value cannot be remedied by money, recognition, affection, attention or influence.

The first step toward spiritual growth is to become aware of your emotions.

If you choose to forgive someone who has wronged you rather than to hate that person, you shift the frequency of your Light.

Allow yourself to experience what it is to learn step by step the freedom that comes from being unattached to the outcome, but operating from an empowered heart.

The opposite of love is not hate. It is fear.

Each moment is a moment of choice ~ a time to leave the old, the limited, the restrained, and the contracted for the new, the unbound, and the liberating potential that expands before you.

If we perceived life with reverence, we would stand in awe at the experience of physical life and walk the earth in a very deep sense of gratitude.

Authentic needs are the needs that are always met by the Universe.

Awareness is a blissful state, not a painful one.

When you seek to dominate another you dominate no one but disempower yourself.

As your temptations become greater, so does your ability to make responsible choices.

You create your reality with your intentions.

You cannot act in love and act in fear at the same time. You must choose between them.

I’ve had some painful experiences in my life, but I feel like I’m trivializing them by using them for a scene in a movie. I don’t want to do that. It just makes me feel kind of dirty for having done that.

The problem was to sustain at any cost the feeling you had in the theater that you were watching a real person, yes, but an intense condensation of his experience, not simply a realistic series of episodes.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a female can enjoy. A father shares in that experience, knowing that he caused it to happen.

Carrying a baby is the most rewarding experience a woman can enjoy.

I know this, and I know it from actual experience in the Orient, that the progress of modern Christian civilization has largely depended on the earnest hard work of the Christian missions of every denomination.

Since I was inexperienced in films, I thought it would be very intimidating to work with experienced people like Sanjay Suri and Samir Soni. But I must say they are very encouraging. They clapped when I gave a good shot.

Early on in my career, I was more closed off in every way. I thought I was protecting myself; instead, I was robbing myself of all I could learn and experience.

People are part of my music. A lot of my songs are the result of emotional experiences, sadness, pain, joy, and exultation in nature and sunshine and so on…like ‘California Girls’ which was a hymn to youth.
