Para deixar de ser refém do passado, você tem que reescrever sua historia.

Respeite seus próprios limites. Quando estiver irritado e ansioso, ame o silêncio. No primeiro minuto de tensão produzimos nossos maiores erros.

Enxergar-se como um ser humano em construção, sujeito a falhas, é vital para dar uma nova chance para si e ter saúde emocional.

Risos e lágrimas, aplausos e vaias, sucessos e fracassos fazem parte da vida inevitavelmente.

Se você quer cultivar o amor, o melhor caminho é dar uma joia que não tem preço: o seu tempo.

Administrar a emoção é ser livre no único lugar em que não podemos ser prisioneiros: dentro de nós mesmos.

Não há sofrimento que dure muito tempo. O medo da dor coloca combustível na emoção e debela as chamas da autoestima.

Brinque mais, dê risadas de alguns erros seus e dos outros, cobre menos e abrace mais.

Quem tem medo de olhar para si e encontrar seus fantasmas mentais será aterrorizado por eles a vida toda. Enfrente-os.

Revise suas rotas, refaça seus caminhos, gerencie seus pensamentos, administre sua emoção.

Temos mais qualidade de vida quando aceitamos que somos imperfeitos e passamos a dar risadas da nossa estupidez.

Viver sem problemas é impossível. O sofrimento nos constrói ou nos destrói. É uma escolha só nossa.

Saiba que o maior carrasco do ser humano é ele mesmo. Não seja escravo dos seus pensamentos negativos.

Ser feliz é encontrar força no perdão, esperança nas batalhas e amor nas pequenas coisas da vida.

Uma pessoa imatura pensa que todas as suas escolhas geram ganhos. Uma pessoa madura sabe que todas as escolhas têm perdas.

Ser gestor da mente humana é saber gerenciar os pensamentos e se tornar protagonista da própria história.

Não deixe a ansiedade e nenhuma outra armadilha da mente guiar a sua mão enquanto você escreve a história mais importante de todas.

Quem é impulsivo ou reage sem pensar acaba destruindo seus melhores relacionamentos. Pense antes de reagir.

Treine seu olhar para observar as necessidades das pessoas à sua volta. Treine ver o mundo com os olhos dos outros.

Os pensamentos são os trilhos das emoções. Só você pode construir esse caminho e se tornar o protagonista da sua própria história.

Now is everything. Now is the essence. Now is the focus. Focus on the now. For that is the key.

I've been dealing with the press for 45 years. You need a very long spoon to sup with them. While you are always grateful, they are like badly trained dogs. They smile and wag and bite your arm off.

I get called to do a lot of labors of love... independent films on very small budgets. If I have the time and if the project speaks to me, it's better than sitting around, right?

Nobody thinks of themselves as sexy, really. Some days you go, 'Hey, I'm not going too bad today.' But if you try and be sexy, you'll never be sexy.

Well, one thing I'm really interested in, when I'm writing, is being accurate.

One arm might handicap me a little in competition, but I just work with what changes I know I have to make, and I'm pretty used to it now. It mainly depends on the wave conditions... I only get half the waves everyone else rides, so mine have to be good!

On stage, it is a tremendous thing to be able to make people laugh. But one of the things that I have always loved is when I am in shows where you can turn the audience upside down and make them cry or move them. That is when things are the most rewarding.

The Church is not self-made, it was created by God and is continuously formed by Him. This finds expression in the Sacraments, above all in that of Baptism: I enter into the Church not by a bureaucratic act, but with the help of this Sacrament.

Stop doubting yourself. Work harder and make it happen.

Did you ever see Cheech and Chong's Up in Smoke? That's what happens if you really smoke weed and make a movie. You get two guys and no plot and it's basically like, 'Yeah! Let's drive a van made of weed!' And that's pretty much the movie.

I think most writers feel like they're on the outside looking in much of the time. All of us feel, to a certain extent, alienated from the stuff going on around us.

Throw a lucky man in the sea, and he will come up with a fish in his mouth.

I don't remember much about the specifics of the economics courses that I majored in - I apparently internalized the key concepts - but I still remember vividly the thrill of reading 'Don Quixote,' Epictetus, 'The Aeneid,' 'King Lear' and 'Candide,' and how contemporary the stories and ideas in these old and ancient texts struck me.

No one who shares a delusion ever recognizes it as such.

If I'm writing for a particular artist, I definitely think about their past records, pay attention to the type of tempos that they like. If I have the privilege of actually being in the session with the artist, I just like to have a conversation with them.

I worked for a brief spell as a journalist, but soon I discovered that I didn't want to be a journalist - I wanted to be a historian.

You don't have to become Mother Teresa to make an impact in the world. But nothing can be achieved if, at the very least, we are not talking about it.

'Gods of Wheat Street' has been described as an Aboriginal 'Neighbours' or 'Home and Away.' But on set, we were calling it 'Black to the Rafters.'

Promising too much can be as cruel as caring too little.

I'm very disappointed in Obama. I was very much in support of him in the beginning, but I cannot support war. I cannot support droning. I cannot support capitulating to the banks.

I love 'Gladiator' and '300.'

When I wrote 'We Can Be Heroes,' I was just so excited about the concept of playing loads of characters, and a television series allows you to do that.

I try not to read reviews. It's hard not to hear what the critics are saying, but as an actor, I try not to let it in and to just give the best performances I can. At the end of the day, if you're trying to please the critics, you're missing what's really important: being creative and having fun.

No mind is thoroughly well organized that is deficient in a sense of humor.
