“This is no dress rehearsal.”

You can’t change other people or (some) conditions; you can change only your reactions to them.

You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.

First, you’re going to have to stop using food for anything other than nutrition. You cannot continue to use food to celebrate, or as a companion, or for entertainment, or comfort. You cannot medicate yourself, your mood, or pain with food.

In the meantime, let’s agree that what makes a problem big is simply that it’s yours.

These are our neighbours, our co-workers, friends’ children, the problem is closer than you think, but so is the solution.

We are what we repeatedly do. Excellence, then, is not an act, but a habit

At the end of the day, whether or not those people are comfortable with how you’re living your life doesn’t matter. What matters is whether you’re comfortable with it.

The truth doesn’t have versions, it just is.

Life’s managed, not cured.

I love life, but not everything in it. I love people, but not all of them. I love myself, but not everything about me.

Drama and crisis are currency to them because they love the power to make people react. They thrive on a good fight, a good scandal, a good drama.

Awareness without action is worthless.

You’re only lonely if you’re not there for you

If you do different, you will have different. If you begin to require more of yourself, that in and of itself is different.

You cannot be who and what you are unless you have a lifestyle, both internally and externally, that is designed to support that definition of self.

You can’t put feathers on a dog and call it a chicken!

I studied painting and sculpting at school and became an actress by mistake …. I’ve had many lovers and still have romances. I am very spoiled. All my life, I’ve had too many admirers.

I am the fiery life of the essence of God; I am the flame above the beauty in the fields; I shine in the waters; I burn in the sun, the moon, and the stars. And with the airy wind, I quicken all things vitally by an unseen, all-sustaining life.

Science, for me, gives a partial explanation for life. In so far as it goes, it is based on fact, experience and experiment.

In life we get an opportunity to do some cool things, and some things that are fun and that we like doing.

I’m tired of fighting. I’ve always known that I can’t be an action star all my life.

We must see that we are afraid of the thing we most desire, and so we live a mediocre life, never bringing to consummation the primary impulse of our heart.

I respect all religions, but I’m not a deeply religious person. But I try and live life in the right way, respecting other people. I wasn’t brought up in a religious way, but I believe there’s something out there that looks after you.

A person’s success in life can usually be measured by the number of uncomfortable conversations he or she is willing to have.
