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

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

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

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

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

When I have the time at home, I'll practice three or four hours a day. I have to. And I'm a late starter; I started at age 17 and at age 51 I'm still learning.

I meditate and do yoga. I sit cross-legged and try not to levitate too much.

It angers me that a timed, planned and paid smearing campaign is run against me in the press.

Comedy shouldn't be restrained under the belt of normality.

I am constantly hustling and finding new things. You try to manage so you don't look back and see huge gaps of time that you missed with your family.

I am eye. I am a mechanical eye. I, a machine, am showing you a world, the likes of which only I can see.

Every game I've ever played, regardless if it was pre-season or Super Bowl, meant the same to me, and I laid it all on the line.

I am delighted with the strong vote I have received. My message of positive leadership, patriotism and commitment clearly was resonating with tens of thousands of ordinary Irish people.

I have always lived according to my conscience, and my past is clean.

I played in rhumba bands, mickey mouse bands; all kinds of bands.

Waiting for the spark from heaven to fall.

The world knows of a vast stock of epic material scattered up and down the nations; sometimes its artistic value is as extraordinary as its archaeological interest, but not always.

I don't want expensive gifts; I don't want to be bought. I have everything I want. I just want someone to be there for me, to make me feel safe and secure.

If a man is dumb, someone is going to get the best of him, so why not you? If you don't, you're as dumb as he is.

But unfortunately, in my unrelenting drive to get back on that drum stool, the major casualty in all of it was that I really forgot about me.

In the '70s, there were economists who argued that seat belts were causing people to drive faster and kill more pedestrians. But after 15 or 20 years of research, we can now conclude that's actually not true. Seat belts, on net, do make people safer. So, on an evidence-based process, we should have people wear seat belts.

If we were the problem, it would be very convenient - kick Greece out, everything's fine. What would happen to Spain, what about Portugal, what about Italy, what about the whole of the euro zone? We need more cooperation and less simplification and prejudice.

I've had to fight for roles and I've lost a hundred roles, but 'Smoking' and 'Smith' were phone calls. That's the dream.

I'm a Christian, but I don't believe in religion or anything like that.
