Life is Now. There was never a time when your life was not now. The Now is the only point that can take you beyond the confines of the mind.

Mind in itself is a wonderful tool. Dysfunction sets in when you seek your self in it & mistake it for who you are. It then becomes the egoic mind and takes over your whole life.

Here is the key. End the delusion of time. Time & mind are inseparable. Remove time from the mind & it stops - unless you choose to use it. You choose to use it.

Time is an illusion & it's not precious at all. What you perceive as precious I'd not time but the one point that is out of time; the Now. Now is the only thing that is. It is all there is.

Satori - a moment of no mind & total presence. Be grateful when it comes, even briefly.

I spend a lot of time in Los Angeles, but I probably wouldn't say it's my favorite city.

The only way to learn a language properly, in fact, is to marry a man of that nationality. You get what they call in Europe a 'sleeping dictionary.' Of course, I have only been married five times, and I speak seven languages. I'm still trying to remember where I picked up the other two.

'Warm Bodies' was a more long-term thing; I had to write the script, who knew if it was every really going to happen, if I'd find the right actors, and so on, so I grabbed '50/50' because I just fell in love with it.

If you make something good and interesting and not ridiculing someone or being offensive, the creators of the original material will like it.

I come from a pretty strange family.

Before my father would open up a karate school in a particular neighborhood, he'd clean up the block - kick all the drug dealers and gang bangers off the block. My father was very clear: 'I've got guns too, and I'll kill you just as much as a rival gang would.' And he meant it. He was a man of many facets and complexities.

Now that I have retired, and even though I wanted to play more, I can always look back and say that at least I won Wimbledon; also, winning the tournament in Rotterdam in 1995.

I've taken my cue from people here and from viewers, especially survivors-who said, 'When it's time to literally flip your wig, you'll know.'

From the first album, Led Zeppelin was always going to be a totally new approach from what had gone before - whether it was approaching the blues or folk music like 'Babe I'm Gonna Leave You': nothing existed like that.

I always, always want to make people laugh. In every situation. Even when it's inappropriate.

Fear is the parent of cruelty.

I don't know if I'm built for marriage.

Art is the imposing of a pattern on experience, and our aesthetic enjoyment is recognition of the pattern.

I believe that thrift is essential to well-ordered living.

We butchered the force present at the airport, we are destroying them.

By the very nature of satire or parody, you have to love and respect your target and respect it enough to understand every aspect of it, so you can more effectively make fun of it.
