Wenn wir Entscheidungen treffen, die sich nicht gut anfühlen, sind diese nicht unumstößlich. Wir haben immer noch die Chance nachzujustieren.

Wer seinem inneren Kompass folgt, kommt auch mit geschlossenen Augen ans Ziel.

Bevor wir eine Entscheidung treffen, sollten wir in uns hineinhorchen und uns fragen “Was will ich wirklich?”.

Dinge, die rational betrachtet vielleicht vernünftig erscheinen, müssen sich noch lange nicht gut anfühlen. Aber genau darauf kommt es an.

Was würde passieren, wenn wir ganz offen über unsere Gedanken und Gefühle sprechen würden?

Auf einem Zahlenstrahl von 1 bis 100 - wie wichtig ist das wirklich?

Wir denken selten an das, was wir haben, aber oft an das, was uns fehlt.

Wie oft ärgern wir uns über unwichtige Kleinigkeiten, ohne in diesen Momenten zu sehen, dass das große Ganze stimmt.

Was brauche ich wirklich?

Es ist nicht Luxus, der uns glücklich macht, sondern das Gefühl von sozialer Sicherheit. Ist eine gute finanzielle Basis vorhanden, wiegen Werte wie Liebe, Gesundheit und Selbstbestimmtheit viel mehr.

Wir haben zu viel von dem, was wir nicht brauchen und zu wenig von dem, was wirklich wichtig ist.

Würde ich so weiterleben wollen wie im Moment, wenn ich wüsste, dass ich in einem Jahr sterben muss?

Die Arbeit läuft dir nicht davon, während du deinen Kindern den Regenbogen zeigst, aber der Regenbogen wartet nicht, bis du mit der Arbeit fertig bist.

Meist ist es nicht die eine große Sache, die alles verändert, sondern die vielen kleinen Dinge. Eine positive Veränderung stößt die nächste an.

Was würdest du heute an deinem Leben ändern, wenn du wüsstest, dass du in einem Jahr sterben musst?

I think every leading man wants to be a character actor, and every character actor wants to be a leading man.

Perhaps no mightier conflict of mind occurs ever again in a lifetime than that first decision to unseat one's own tooth.

I think I have good judgment.

This is something special. You can attempt to have a kind of non-living music.

This is what Hollywood tends to do. It tends to disregard tradition, history and anything factual, twisting it and turning it and making it all okay regardless of what the English may think of it.

I try and borrow my mom's vintage stuff as much as she lets me - she has this amazing vintage Gucci that I love.

It's just that some people are lucky and people still seem to enjoy the music.

My first undertaking in the way of scientific experiment was in the field of economics and psychology.

Surely if God had meant us to do yoga, he would have put our heads behind our knees.

The element which is conveniently missing from today's Republican Party is the human one. People's hopes and realities become numbers and words, devoid of personality and easy to erase.

The contest for ages has been to rescue liberty from the grasp of executive power.

Eighty percent of my life is normal like any other mother. I worry about my children, if they're doing all right. I worry that my husband is doing well. The 20 percent is just the queen aspect that factors in. But for me, it's life as usual, and it's just taking care of my family.

I myself, however wretched I may be, have been occasionally privileged to sit at the feet of the Lord Jesus, and to the extent that his merciful love allowed, have embraced with all my heart, now one, now the other, of these feet.

Every time I do something silly it comes off really funny because its natural.

Foolish many said; foolish many, many believed.

Somebody was asking me the other day - President Bush is now talking about freedom for the Arab world. I say, well, that's great. I was talking about that fifty years ago.

We are developing a media policy which would be about breaking up single ownership of too many sources of information so that we have a multiplicity of sources.

Nothing that has value, real value, has no cost. Not freedom, not food, not shelter, not healthcare.

I don't want enemies. I want friends, and I want them in all shapes, sizes, and colors, and loving whoever they want to.

Whatever is original in my writing comes from my musical apprenticeship. I look for rhythm in words. I imagine words as if they were musical chords. Often I'll write something, read it, and find it musically unsatisfactory. There is a musical imperative in my choice of words.

I consider myself to be first and foremost a comic writer. The way I entertain myself - especially in those long and grim hours in the office - is to write stuff I find funny.

There is a great deal of human nature in man.

I still fit in with the hillbillies!
