“When you judge another, you do not define them, you define yourself.”

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

You are not stuck where you are unless you decide to be.

Live one day at a time emphasizing ethics rather than rules.

You’ll see it when you believe it.

As you awaken to your divine nature, you’ll begin to appreciate beauty in everything you see, touch and experience.

Meditation is a vital practice to access conscious contact with your highest self.

If you are living out of a sense of obligation you are slave.

You have everything you need for complete peace and total happiness right now.

You are doomed to make choices. This is life’s greatest paradox.

Practice radical humility. Take no credit for your talents, intellectual abilities, aptitudes, or proficiencies. Be in a state of awe and bewilderment.

Everything you are against weakens you. Everything you are for empowers you.

Change your inner thoughts to the higher frequencies of love, harmony, kindness, peace, and joy, and you’ll attract more of the same.

It is easy to love people when they smell good, but sometimes they slip into the manure of life and smell awful. You must love them just as much when they smell foul.

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.

A lot of actors are frustrated because they want to do things that are different and test themselves. Character actors are always looking for something the opposite of what they did.

Put more trust in nobility of character than in an oath.

But I learned that there’s a certain character that can be built from embarrassing yourself endlessly. If you can sit happy with embarrassment, there’s not much else that can really get to ya.

I do really believe that all guitarists have a different character that comes through, that’s a strong character, the stronger the person is.

If you will think about what you ought to do for other people, your character will take care of itself. Character is a by-product, and any man who devotes himself to its cultivation in his own case will become a selfish prig.

I prefer to channel my problems and inner demons through a character. Another persona. That protects me and my family. I can get my frustrations out that way.

When I tried to play characters that strayed from who I am it ended in disaster. People didn’t expect me in comedies or musicals.

Music is music and I think music people are the delivers, the actors, when they put their music out they want to insert their character in it. So they call it such and such so you know how they live so to speak.
