I'm studying Kabbalah, which is really the essence of Jewish spirituality.

I can't tell you 100 percent what makes a relationship work. But I can see something good coming and I can see something bad coming.

I really, really love Hilary Clinton. I think she's very cool. She's out there and she's involved.

There are few performers who would have had the audacity to even bring up the fact that they had been poorly reviewed.

I'm very much a humanist. I'm very much pro-choice. I'm very much politically correct.

Everybody has their own way of tapping into their realness.

At some point, the pride has to be a part of the whole day-to-day oeuvre. It's part of who you are and doesn't need to be discussed anymore.

I really have a problem with any kind of drug, I always have.

Gayness is a non-issue.

I'm sure that Jesus was an incredible person.

The real terrorist threats are George W. Bush and his band of brown-shirted thugs.

I'm very much an optimist. I don't think I could do my work if I didn't believe there was some kind of hope for humanity.

I don't believe in karma.

I like the energy of live performance.

When you're constantly looking for things from other people, you're not looking within yourself.

Unfortunately, most college kids these days aren't coming from any place-they seem to ask the same kind of questions over and over again.

There are so few women in general who aren't completely threatened and confused by other women's success. It's very disappointing.

I've become this sort of icon for the gay community. I don't like the position.

I think I've drawn from some of the most feminine women, like Jackie Kennedy. I am totally devastated that she's gone. She had it all.

I don't consider myself a comic but a performer. A comic tells bad jokes.

I don't like surgery. I don't like elective surgery, I don't like surgery that you have to have.

Anything that has cynicism to it and that's jaded is smutty.

Smut, if it's really smut, there's nothing backing it up. It's the easy way out.

I'm trying to appeal to the disenfranchised everybody, not just specifically gay.

When you're watching the news, how many days in a row can you watch that and feel good about yourself and the world?

That disturbs people when they know they didn't have the guts or integrity to stick to their dreams.

I'm studying Kabbalah, which is really the essence of Jewish spirituality.

When people pay to see you live, they connect with you on a much deeper level than people who just buy your records.

Things are so scary and intimidating with AIDS and the right wing that people are looking for somebody to just give them safe harbors.

A remembrance can mean nothing to the one remembered it can only remind the ones left behind how little they did while you were still alive.

A remembrance can mean nothing to the one remembered; it can only remind the ones left behind how little they did while you were still alive.

Everybody has their own way of tapping into their realness.

Learning is the beginning of wealth. Learning is the beginning of health. Learning is the beginning of spirituality. Searching and learning is where the miracle process all begins.

If we win, someone else loses. But if someone else loses, we lose. Which is a point we're not getting. The new spirituality will make this just painfully obvious.

In order to experience everyday spirituality, we need to remember that we are spiritual beings spending some time in a human body.

Religion is the organization of spirituality into something that became the hand maiden of conquerors. Nearly all religions were brought to people and imposed on people by conquerors, and used as the framework to control their minds.

Spirituality was the main issue. Connection with God was the main issue.

The new spirituality is that it will produce an experience in human encounters in which we become a living demonstration of the basic spiritual teaching 'We are all one.'

I think the new spirituality will be a spirituality that's not based on a particular dogma. And that steps away from the old spiritual paradigm that we have created on this planet, which comes from a thought that there is such a thing as being better.

Spirituality is indeed the master key of the Indian mind; the sense of the infinitive is native to it.

I also work with the spirituality of people.

The new spirituality will bring about what I'm calling the 'end of better.' And that is in fact what is called for in the next of the series of books that I've been writing.

The individual has become a mere cog in an enormous organization of things and powers which tear from his hands all progress, spirituality, and value in order to transform them from their subjective form into the form of a purely objective life.

I was able to do To Sleep with Anger, a very powerful film about African Americans, their spirituality, and the things that happened within a small community and a family.

Religion is for people who are scared to go to hell. Spirituality is for people who have already been there.

Religion can be both good and bad - it is spirituality that counts.

When younger, I was thin as a rail. As I've grown older, I've put on weight. I have continued to love myself in all those roles. Part of my spirituality, I always tell people, is to accept yourself for who you are.

Their spirituality was in nature, even though Emerson was a preacher on the pulpit, he ended up going out into nature for direct, face-to-face communication with God, if you want to call all of this creation part of God.

To say the word Romanticism is to say modern art - that is, intimacy, spirituality, color, aspiration towards the infinite, expressed by every means available to the arts.
