“I want to be awake. I want to choose kindness, live & let live. I want joy, gratitude, and peace today.”

It was when I realized I needed to stop trying to be somebody else and be myself, that I actually started to own, accept and love what I had.

This is a couple that actually loves, respects & appreciates each other.

The two things that I thought were really interesting about this character [Bow] for me were that she actually loved her husband, and he loved her. The comedy was not coming from the fact that they hated each other. Which is what television couples are usually based on.

Just embrace your hair! I really feel like I am not an advocate for people doing what I do. I’m an advocate for people discovering and finding what works for them.

Self-care of all kinds is a huge part of my life. I really encourage other women and other people to really put self-care – and that includes the beauty regime, how you eat, all of that – into your body.

Here is my wish and my desire and my pledge as well: that we remember our true nature and our womanhood. That we own and know that we are more than our bodies and yet our bodies are these sacred, beautiful, rhythmic houses for us.

One of the photographers was like, “Can you stop talking and try to look sexy for a minute?”

I’m trying to find my own version of what makes me feel beautiful.

My mom would leave her job, and there would be throngs of people screaming and banging on our car. I come from a very private family, but I was born into a public family.

When you feel happy, you look beautiful.

And it acting was exciting to me. And scary.

I sometimes think to myself, you’re not going to meet a new friend of any kind at home in front of the TV with your DVR. As much as it’s great, and there are so many good shows on TV, and I have great books that I’m reading, get out and interact with people.

Throughout high school, I was obsessed with magazines. I used to just comb through them and plaster things on my wall.

I like to choose compassion over judgment and curiosity over fear.

I’ve always been a curious thinker. And now, as an adult, I can articulate it.

After college, I shot a pilot for a show on Lifetime, which was basically House of Style for a TV lover. I think I got paid $1,500, and I was like, “Mom, I’m moving out! I made it!” I did two seasons of that, but I felt like a talking head and wanted to do more.

All arts lie in man, though not all are apparent. Awakening brings them out. To be taught is nothing; everything is in man waiting to be awakened.

Life is a series of awakenings.

The world, like a dream full of attachments and aversions seems real until the awakening.

A spiritual intention is a resounding YES to awakening to your fullest potential. It may include several of your life structures: mental, emotional, financial, relational – because there is no aspect of your life that is not spiritual.

The U.S. needs a strong techno brand like Awakenings, just pretty much pure techno.

Single-minded devotion engenders deep thought, which expresses itself in action. The Lord’s Light descends on the devotee, His power awakens in him and, as a result, profound inner inquiry blossoms forth.

However, anyone to whom this happens should not leave his room upon awakening, should speak to no-one, but remain alone and sober until everything comes back to him, and he recalls the dream.

Preaching means to awaken the real inclination to serve God.
