“We must not rest until right livelihood is within reach of every human being upon this earth we love and cherish.”

The essence of spirituality is the duty to live to its full the glorious destiny of being human.

All human beings have a right, and duty, to be joyful. Anything that thwarts this spiritual human right goes against the very purpose of human being.

They tend to make us meaner rather than better human beings, less sensitive to the demands of justice, compassion and fellow humanity in our times.

It is imperative that a new and proactive spiritual vision commensurate to the challenges of the emerging world order be enunciated without delay.

Spirituality mandates us to wage a relentless war to eradicate these forces of oppression and disempowerment.

We all have a role to play in achieving this goal.

Religions have become a hindrance, rather than a help, to our shared pursuit of peace and progress.

First, we must liberate people from religion, as religion is understood and practiced today. Second, we must effect a paradigm shift from religiosity to shared spirituality.

For the world order to be one of peace and justice, for the global village to be a theater of right livelihood.

Peace among religions is a precondition for world peace.

Spiritually, life is a festival, a celebration. Joy is of the essence of life.

The religions of the world must be assessed, not on the basis of their convoluted theologies, but in terms of the extent to which they serve as forces of liberation and empowerment.

The purpose of religion should be to empower all people in this adventure of living with dignity and fulfilment.

Men who do things without being told draw the most wages.

All human beings are commingled out of good and evil.

There are quantities of human beings, but there are many more faces, for each person has several.

I love Los Angeles, and it’s been very good to me, but if everyone is running around telling the stories, who’s living them?

Nothing hinders a thing from being natural so much as the straining ourselves to make it seem so.

My sister’s also very, very competitive but she is more concerned than I am with being liked. So she hides it away. I try to make my competitiveness part of my charm.

I was really good at being a bad guy; I like that role. Not being bad to people – just talking bad.

That’s the beauty of being a straight-to-DVD star. It really helps you stay under the media’s radar.
