“A mind at peace, a mind centered and not focused on harming others, is stronger than any physical force in the universe.”

You can never get enough of what you don’t want.

Never underestimate your power to change yourself; never overestimate your power to change others.

Conflict cannot survive without your participation.

Heaven is a state of mind, not a location.

With everything that has happened to you, you can either feel sorry for yourself or treat what has happened as a gift. Everything is either an opportunity to grow or an obstacle to keep you from growing. You get to choose.

All blame is a waste of time. No matter how much fault you find with another, it will not change you.

Doing what you love is the cornerstone of having abundance in your life.

I am realistic – I expect miracles.

When your higher self is present, it always promotes peace.

There’s no scarcity of opportunity to make a living at what you love. There is only a scarcity of resolve to make it happen.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

When you abandon making choices, you enter the vast world of excuses.

When the choice is to be right or to be kind, always make the choice that brings peace.

Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it’s always your choice.

Our intention creates our reality.

The more you extend kindness to yourself, the more it will become your automatic response to others.

You have to be tenacious, you have to be focused, you have to have a real vision, and be extremely passionate about it.

Most of us aren’t that interested in getting rich- we just don’t want to get poor.

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.

When you’re a working actor and you’re happy to be one, you can’t focus all your energy on acting because you will go crazy. You have to focus as much energy as you can away from yourself.

I took a bit of a back seat, I had kids and I wanted to focus on them. There’s that period in the late ’90s, the early 2000s, where I didn’t do a great deal.

I’m so compulsive about stuff, I know if I had ever gotten pregnant, of course, that would have been my whole focus. But I didn’t choose to have children because I’m focused on my career. And I just don’t think, as compulsive as I am, that I could manage both.

I started off making beats when I was like 12. Then when I linked with people who make beats full time, I was like, ‘Bet, now I can focus on writing and singing.’

Edward was always focused, watching and also listening to what others couldn’t see.
