Life is a drama - you need a role to play and a foe to slay.

This is the simplest rule for greatness and comfort: Do your best and pray for the rest.

Let's begin today, and say this everyday.

Savor the now, secure the next.

The greatest self help is to seek help from the Greatest.

Addiction is good if you are addicted to what is good.

SWITCH FOR a Bigger Self. You may have that childhood dream of living in an isolate paradise where everything is abundant & comfortable. But it does not help you grow. You need to envision yourself as being capable of taking risks, solving problems & dealing well with even the most unlikable persons you could imagine.

SWITCH OFF Biased Thinking Over-optimism & over-pessimism won't serve you the best. Just balance both. Be optimistic to have the energy to continue your journey, & be pessimistic to avoid possible downfalls.

SWITCH TO B.O.L.D Goals. Don't stick too much to S.M.A.R.T goals because it ignores changes, insults your potential, and kills your passion & creativity. Instead, aim for B.O.L.D (Big, Optimistic, Liberating, Dramatic) goals.

SWITCH FROM the Busy Life. Stop acting like everybody's hero. It will just waste your precious time & energy and make them irresponsible. Instead, just follow your Path and do only the tasks w/c you can do best and w/c can make the most impact to yourself & to the world.

SWITCH ON Bullet-speed Learning & Acting! Learn from a lot of people who have already reached where you want to be right now - from their own stories of struggles, mistakes & failures. Having learned, immediately ACT! It's the non-negotiable ingredient to self-growth.

Nothing gives me more pleasure than acting. But I don't enjoy going for award functions or giving interviews.

I didn't think then, and I still don't, that I was actually sick.

In a way, making Martin Ellingham the way he is was a corrective exercise for my acting - to keep a bit still and show a little control. I do like it - it's like having an instrument that you can play and that you can pick up and enjoy playing.

Contrast of emotions is definitely something interesting that you like to do as an actor.

The stuff that I find really intriguing is always how do ordinary people behave in extraordinary circumstances. And that's why we have a lot of cop shows and lawyer shows and medical shows is that you're looking for situations that just always heighten the stakes.

I always wanted to be an artist, writer and poet since I was seven, and one has to live long enough to evolve as an artist and do one's finest work.

Grief is perhaps an unknown territory for you. You might feel both helpless and hopeless without a sense of a map for the journey. Confusion is the hallmark of a transition. To rebuild both your inner and outer world is a major project.

You've got some very powerful countries: Poland, the United Kingdom, Sweden and others who have a genuine desire to see the euro zone straighten itself out. It's good for all of us, whether you're in the euro zone or not, to make sure that it doesn't lead to a fracturing.

I have admired David Bromley's work for years. He possesses such a wild and vivid imagination and really sees the beauty in everything.

Every month that begins on a sunday has a friday the 13th

I knew there was something about 'Sun Medallion,' in particular, because I just had to record it the second I wrote it.

I hope people learn the power of vulnerability through my songs. I think vulnerability can save the world. Empathy helps people connect with each other.

Just because you didn't start out perfect doesn't mean you can't have an excellent result in the end.

Common man is always benefited by a rate cut.

Honestly, I feel really grateful for everything.

To create more positive results in your life, replace ˜if only' with next time.

As much as I would love to do roles in big movies and am keen to establish myself in the industry. I don't want to sacrifice things that I really enjoy, like spending time with my family and friends.

Washington has got to, across the board, lower taxes for small businesses so that our mom and pops can reinvest and hire people, so that our businesses can thrive.

Adults will not necessarily laugh at the same thing as their children.

We're not perfect, but we want to do the right thing.

The escape to an unchallenging fairy tale can be very nice and I'm all for that, but film can also challenge you to confront the realities of our world.

I would still rather be in Silicon Alley. I like the West Coast also, but it's sort of fragmented. You have companies in downtown San Francisco, companies in Mountain View, and people are driving between them all. It's kind of nice in New York to just jump in a cab and reach another company so easily.

Just as we have two eyes and two feet duality is part of life.

To vice, innocence must always seem only a superior kind of chicanery.
