“Cheer up, things will get worse.”

Women like me. Women love me, so if I really wanted to involve the women, I don’t have to assault the women.

No matter how old or sick or out of shape, you can still stretch and have a new beginning with yoga.

If you have a good spine, the gods will chase you. Nobody has psychological or emotional problems, everyone has a bad spine.

The right way is the hard way.

You are never too old or too broken. It is never too late to begin, or to start all over again.

Bikram Yoga will give you ‘The Key to the Kingdom of Health’

If you don’t suffer, you don’t get anything. Nothing easy in life.

Until you destroy your body, you don’t learn to appreciate it. Treat the body like a temple because the body is so beautiful. If and when you understand your body then you will respect it.

Lady Gaga listens to me. Her mantra is only one word – ‘Bikram’ – because Bikram makes her what she is today. It works.

The body is like a bud, until the sun rises it will not bloom, until it blooms it will not be beautiful or give perfume. So respect it, take care of it.

Yoga is the perfect vehicle for change of yourself. First by creating a strong and powerful body and mind. It is a starting point from which you can begin to realize your human spirit.

In life you only have to travel 6 inches. That is the distance from your mind to your heart.

Any kind of problem you have in your life, you come to Bikram. Your life becomes the best in the world.

Would you rather suffer 90 minutes or 90 years? (Regarding a Bikram Yoga session that takes exactly 90 minutes.)

I am tough, and sometimes I tell it like it is. Tough love can work wonders.

The real pleasure,the real peace, the real enlightenment is to give. The more you give the more you get. If you give 10, you get 100.

I never looked back there, but she was like, ‘Will you all just shut up!’ And I just got up and moved three rows in front. She was like, ‘What are you doing?!’ I was like, ‘You better get up here! I don’t play the fighting games.’

It’s very much up to you, how you shape your life. I mean, I missed out on human relationships. But looking at relationships that I’ve seen along the way, I don’t think I’ve missed much.

Often you see people on the red carpet with tight up-dos, but that makes me feel stiff.

One of the very few things that I do every single day is put on fragrance. If I’m not wearing make-up, if my hair’s not done, if I’m walking around in pyjamas – I still put my fragrance on. I will brush my teeth and put on my perfume.

I’ll never forget the time my mother showed up with her best friend and two daughters, and all four of us dressed up in matching clothes, shoes and hats to go pick up my brother from school.

I think people relate to me because of the ups and downs I have had. I mean, I’ve shared a lot of strong emotions in my life, that I think maybe ’cause they believe I’m not scared to tell everybody I’m a human being.

I’m fed up with the idiots… the ever-widening gap between people who know how to make movies and the people who green-light the movies.

When you’ve lived the life that I have, you should always expect something like that to crop up. I was not a good boy.
