i'm too in love with my life to be spilling all over the floor for the next man who gives me butterflies when i could look in the mirror and take my own breath away

if you could accept that perfection is impossible what would you stop obsessing over

you lose everything when you don't love yourself - and gain everything when you do

i am not my worst days i am not what happened to me - reminder

i'm either romanticising the past or i'm busy worrying about the future it's no wonder i don't feel alive i'm not living in the only moment that's real - present

how can i be so cruel to myself when i'm doing the best i can - be gentle

i'm breathing aren't i that's gotta be a sign that the universe is on my side if i've made it this far i can make it all the way

you didn't lose it happiness has always been here - you just lost perspective

what we lived through is living in us

our pain is the doorway to our joy

if someone doesn't have a heart you can't go around offering them yours

if you're waiting for them to make you feel like you're enough you'll be waiting a long time

why does everything become less beautiful once it belongs to us

a man can't give me anything i can't give myself - things i wish i could tell the younger me

i'm careful about who i spend my energy on - i know my worth

we've ruined our only home for convenience and profit neither of which will be useful once the earth can't breathe

i was trying to fit into a system that left me empty - capitalism

productivity is not how much work i do in a day but how well i balance what i need to stay healthy - being productive is knowing when to rest

no one is qualified to decide your worth you wake up and live your life every day yours is the only opinion of you that matters

if you tried and didn't end up where you wanted to go that's still progress

not everything you do has to be self-improving you are not a machine you are a person without rest your work can never be full without play your mind can never be nourished - balance

i became confident once i decided that having fun was far more important than my fear of looking silly - dancing in public

don't sleep on the doormat of your potential waiting for things to happen when you could be the thing that happens

i'm not interested in an feminism that thinks simply placing women at the top of oppressive systems is progress

there is a conversation happening inside you pay deep attention to what your inner world is saying

i stopped resisting the unpleasant feelings and accepted that happiness hat nothing to do with feeling good all the time - balance

it's easy to love the nice things about ourselves but true self-love is embracing the difficult parts that live in all of us - acceptance

why escape yourself when you are so beautiful get closer to your shine

make it a point to love yourself as fiercely as you do other people - commitment

you do not belong to the future of the past - you belong right here

Tim Tebow cannot dance, I know that. Tebow can do a lot of things, but he can not dance.

I don't plot my books rigidly, follow a preconceived structure. A novel mustn't be a closed system - it's a quest.

It is true that I was born in Iowa, but I can't speak for my twin sister.

Paying good wages is not charity at all-it is the best kind of business.

I wanted to make noise, not study theory.

I don’t think it’s real unless you put it on an LP. CDs aren’t real. Anybody can do that.

I am most interested in people and the human form.

I believe women should be independent and have their own life. But I also think that when a couple decides to have a family, things change because you need to live in unison.

I think L.A. is beautiful.

When chefs like Wolfgang Puck became household names, that became a compelling reason for an intelligent young person to go into the cooking profession. There have been no waiters who have turned into household names. The service and hospitality aspects have clearly lagged behind the kitchen.

There is no more defiant denial of one man's ability to possess one woman exclusively than the prostitute who refuses to redeemed.

Information and inspiration are everywhere... history, art, architecture, everything an illustrator needs. Europe is, after all, the land that has generated most of the enduring myths and legends of Western culture.

I only compare myself to myself.

To me, one of the things I love about being an actor is that it's never done; it's never perfect, and so it's the process. It's like practicing being okay with things not being perfect and things being outside of your control.

People are embarrassed by disco but I love it.

I was in a weight-cutting sport, in judo, so I had to be a certain weight on a deadline. It kind of pushed me into having a really unhealthy relationship with food in my teens. I felt like if I wasn't exactly on weight, I wasn't good-looking.

The red directors were one of the main political forces. Another force was the former Soviet ministers who lost everything because of the transformation of the Soviet Union to Russia.

Preserve and cherish the pale blue dot the only home weve ever known.

Aren't most romance heros, or heros in fiction of any kind, generally superior to real men? Same goes for heroines and real women.
