if the hurt comes so will the happiness

what drives you crazy what keeps you up at night

you must understand the difference between want and need you may want that boy but you certainly don't need him

you must enter a relationship with yourself before anyone else

do not look for healing at the feet of those who broke you

if you were born with the weakness to fall you were born with the strength to rise

it takes grace to remain kind in cruel situations

to be soft is to be powerful

accept yourself as you were designed

other women's bodies are not our battlegrounds

i have what i have and i am happy i've lost what i've lost and i am still happy

how you love yourself is how you teach others to love you

you are your own soul mate

some people are so bitter to them you must be kindest

if you are not enough for yourself you will never be enough for someone else

you must want to spend the rest of your life with yourself first

Soon, I'm going to need help crossing the street.

We should learn to love everyone equally, because in essence we are all one, one Atman, one soul.

If you ask any great player or great quarterback, there's a certain inner confidence that you're as good as anybody. But you can't say who is the absolute best. To be considered is special in itself.

I think what is nice about 'Elf,' and why it doesn't play as one long sketch, is that the character actually grows up during the course of the film. It's not just a character that you can keep checking in on and keep doing sketches about. It's a story. I'm pretty proud of how we told it.

Cuz I was never pretty anyway and never cared anything about that.

There is lots of evidence that it is this fear of going into debt that most puts people from poorer backgrounds off going to university.

I should only have been as lucky as Valentino, in the movies - I didn't have to be a gigolo. In real life.

Typically, only about 2 percent of the American populace tunes in to PBS's 'Nova' series - the most successful science show on the tube. 'Survivor' and 'X Factor' get twice the ratings.

I have always been a fan of Kajol Ma'am. The way she portrayed Zooni's character in 'Fanaa' is etched in my memory. I have watched the film several times, and each time I have learnt something new from her performance.

A rich person who has no love in his heart is poorer than a poor person who has no money in his pocket.

I read the paper every day and the Bible every day; that way I know what both sides are up to.

When I started doing 'The City' in 1990, most papers ran it the width of the page, 10 inches or so. It was great! I had lots of room to draw and write. It was the golden age of weekly comix. Today, most run my strip half that size. I just try to make it legible. It's very frustrating.

I feel like my life has been a series of miracles. I was in every sense a lost cause.

It depends on who you talk to if I'm part of the establishment or part of the antiestablishment.

But when you work with the director and the real person who is playing opposite you, it changes everything. You are almost in a working session. I was very comfortable, and that's maybe what helped me to get the part.

The music industry is an interesting lens through which to look at change, because it has had such a difficult time adjusting to the digital age.

Show me the money!

I'm a very great non-violent character. I would never resort to violence to change anything.

Punctuality is the soul of business.

I was in my early 20s and open to alternative lifestyles. I thought, 'I bet you get a lot of attractive, interesting women in a vegetarian co-op.'

I always try to approach character first and foremost viscerally.

To do a really good interview, you have to be truly interested in the person.

Forgiveness is an act of the will, and the will can function regardless of the temperature of the heart.

I thought the marketing was really smart and really clever and unique at the time. It positioned 'Saw' as a horror film that was different from the other horror films that were in the crowded marketplace.
