There are many paths but only one journey.

A dead end street is a good place to turn around.

It will kill four times as many Americans as AIDS will over the next decade. I feel that what ever kind of disability God has given me, as an entertainer and as a public figure, it is so I can be a representative for others.

There are many paths but only one journey.

I've had women tell me that when their daughters see them taking care of themselves, and being defined from within, and thinking for themselves instead of thinking about that silly culture out there, it's powerful modeling.

We're spirited and spiritual... and fun follows us around.

When you're a caregiver, you need to realize that you've got to take care of yourself, because, not only are you going to have to rise to the occasion and help someone else, but you have to model for the next generation.

Your body hears everything your mind says.

I learned more about myself by being an RN than anything else I've ever done.

Change is the one thing we can be sure of.

They're trying to tell us that we're not right, so we have to buy their products. The number one cause of mental illness is not knowing who you are and you can't know who you are if you don't spend time honoring yourself, and living in the present.

For many people, managing pain involves using prescription medicine in combination with complementary techniques like physical therapy, acupuncture, yoga and massage. I appreciate this because I truly believe medical care should address the person as a whole - their mind, body, and spirit.

I don't take vacations.

I don't think we spend enough time in reflection and introspection. We don't know who we are as individuals in this culture anymore.

I grew up in a family of secrets; there was a lot of pathology in the family.

I love the ocean, but I'm just not one to lie on the beach.

I'm a communicator.

I'm a darned good listener.

I'm a registered, vetted gun owner, but that's because I live way out in the country, like way out in the middle of nowhere.

I'm not just a big-haired redhead country singer who dresses flamboyantly, has this wicked sense of humor and wears rhinestones.

I've never experienced chronic pain myself, but I have known many people over the years who have.

Ignorance is my least favorite thing. I really think it's at the core of all our problems.

It's so important for those living with chronic pain to establish good communication with both their healthcare professionals and caregivers. Clear communication about pain is vital to receiving proper diagnosis and effective treatment.

Solitude is creativity's best friend, and solitude is refreshment for our souls.

You shouldn't be ashamed of your pain. You have the right to have your pain treated.

When youre a caregiver you need to realize that youve got to take care of yourself because not only are you going to have to rise to the occasion and help someone else but you have to model for the next generation.

Slow down, simplify and be kind.

I suppose, in a way, this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters, I've done wearing it. When the time comes, it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American, and a soldier?

The feeling remains that God is on the journey, too.

Every book is a new journey. I never felt I was an expert on a subject as I embarked on a project.

I've been pleased to work with so many wonderful stars through the years. This has been an amazing journey. I hope it continues.

In my subconscious, my books were part of a single emotional journey.

But even if I'm left high and dry at the end of this wild journey, just taking it is a great feeling.

Never make your home in a place. Make a home for yourself inside your own head. You'll find what you need to furnish it - memory, friends you can trust, love of learning, and other such things. That way it will go with you wherever you journey.

These matters having been arranged, I had a temporary awning erected near the river, and was for three or four days busily employed writing an account of our journey for the Governor's information.

My music is about the journey, about love and the human experience.

The only journey is the one within.

People who can pull you in and take you on a journey, as opposed to simply adding flash. Again, that feels very clinical, and I don't respond to that the way I used to.

One approaches the journey's end. But the end is a goal, not a catastrophe.

An illness is like a journey into a far country; it sifts all one's experience and removes it to a point so remote that it appears like a vision.

When I became a director, I wanted to convince a very reluctant Sidney into allowing me to go on the journey of his life. Sidney had gone ahead of every other African American actor.

When life takes me on a new journey, I simply remember the smile my first ballet recital put on my face and I move forward.

All through school, I was losing hundreds of pounds in school, so that's a journey - that's an old journey. I'm tired of that. I know that road.

Science and art, or by the same token, poetry and prose differ from one another like a journey and an excursion. The purpose of the journey is its goal, the purpose of an excursion is the process.

And it was from Boston that one in every six American families began their journey into the land of the free.

I like someone who embraces life; who wants to be on a long journey but has no particular plan or destination in mind. An adventurous man, open to the concept of living life in the moment.

We found on our journey, as well as in the place where we stopped, that they treated us with as much confidence and good-will as if they had known us all their lives.

For so, surely you will cast a light of gladness upon his onward journey, and contribute your part towards the building of that kingdom of love which links our earth to heaven.

As you follow the escapades or the journey of the hero through a story, it evokes some kind of emotion in the viewers. The director's job is to make sure that the audience goes through the journey and has an emotional reaction.
