Jeder lernt auf seine Weise. Seine Art ist nicht die meine und meine Art ist nicht die seine. Aber beide suchen wir unseren Lebensweg und deshalb achte ich ihn.

Erst die Möglichkeit, einen Traum zu verwirklichen, macht unser Leben lebenswert.

Denn alle Menschen haben immer genaue Vorstellungen davon, wie wir unser Leben am besten zu leben haben. Doch nie wissen sie selber, wie sie ihr eigenes Leben am besten anpacken sollen.

Plötzlich erkannte er, dass er die Welt entweder mit den Augen eines armen, beraubten Opfers sehen konnte oder aber als Abenteurer, auf der Suche nach einem Schatz.

Erinnere dich immer an das, was du erreichen willst.

Gib nie deine Träume auf, folge den Zeichen.

Je näher man an seinen Traum herankommt, um so mehr wird der persönliche Lebensweg zum eigentlichen Lebensziel.

Niemand muss das Unbekannte fürchten, weil jeder Mensch das erreichen kann, was er will und was er braucht.

Nur die Ausdauernden, nur diejenigen, die viel nachforschen, vollenden das große Werk.

Ich lebe weder in der Vergangenheit noch in der Zukunft. Ich habe nur die Gegenwart und mir diese interessiert mich. Wenn du immer in der Gegenwart leben kannst, dann bist du ein glücklicher Mensch.

Probiere es aus.

Jeder einzelne Tag trägt die Ewigkeit in sich.

Jeder Tag ist dazu da, um gelebt zu werden oder um an ihm die Welt zu verlassen.

Es gibt nur eine Möglichkeit zu lernen und das ist durch Handeln.

Niemand kann vor der Stimme seines Herzens fliehen. Deshalb ist es besser, darauf zu hören.

Die Angst vorm Leiden ist schlimmer als das eigentliche Leid.

Nonviolence is not a cloistered virtue, confined only to the rishi and the cave-dweller.

I know this is kind of corny, but we thought about renewing our vows again because I think my mom would really love it if we did that in Arkansas, where I came from.

I'm not an impersonator. I've only got one voice and only do one guy and his first-person essays.

I want to do one thing and do it well.

Manufacturing takes place in very large facilities. If you want to build a computer chip, you need a giant semiconductor fabrication facility. But nature can grow complex molecular machines using nothing more than a plant.

I hate ugliness. You know I'm allergic to ugliness.

I love hockey, and I don't love it for any other reason than when I get out there and play, I enjoy it.

The difference between men and women is getting harder and harder to invent.

I'm cynical by nature, but I am also very hopeful because I see people from the Left and the Right showing up to these tea parties. You have people, bikers, union members and guys in three-piece suits showing up to these things.

I grew up cursing a lot.

I haven't read a single word that a critic has written about me since 1994.

As an actor, I was a fantastic rebel. Then I became a directorial rebel and understood rebels from both sides. So now I am a friend who gives advice - not one who knows more, necessarily, but who shares ideas.

Artists like Justin Bieber or Lady Gaga have more sway over popular minds than a politician.

The true treasure lies within. It is the underlying theme of the songs we sing, the shows we watch and the books we read. It is woven into the Psalms of the Bible, the ballads of the Beatles and practically every Bollywood film ever made. What is that treasure? Love. Love is the nature of the Divine.

The Blues are the true facts of life expressed in words and song inspiration feeling and understanding.

I really love stand-up. I'm more than happy to do it for nothing. I've come to America to do it for nothing. It's the American Dream: Work for free.

I need to have my hands on the DNA of a film.

When I was young, I was everywhere.

I don't think I would have made 'Blank Project; if I hadn't made 'Cherry Thing.' I think that was a real rebirth in a way, and a remembrance of how I like to make music best, the most. Like being in a more chaotic place, maybe. Like a place of making and being creative where the mistakes can be left in.

Its funny, because for females in general - not just in music, but the corporate ladder as well - anything we do has always been harder for us. When it comes to music, the industry wants you to conform, to look like this and to sound like this and do this or that. It makes it harder. It's harder for us to come out and be bosses and lead the pack.

Revival begins when you draw a circle around yourself and make sure everything in that circle is right with God.

Producing good stuff can be quite tough, and it involves a lot of frustration, but I always like things to be jolly and happy, and I forget that's actually not the point at the end of the day.

People think, because we're young, we aren't complex, but that's not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

When I wrote 'The Rozabal Line,' I had no preconceived notions of what a commercial bestseller should be. I have always viewed 'The Rozabal Line' as my first love and probably my best work. The fact, however, is that it is my least read work.
