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

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?

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

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.

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 like to direct for the big screen.

I was terrified. My first week, walking around in a teeny bikini, I kept crossing my arms over my chest because I was afraid I was going to fall out of the top of the suit. And I didn't know anything about technique or lighting.

I'm influenced by all kinds of music. I have a very diverse iPod. You never know if I've got it on shuffle. You never know what you are going to hear next. I like all genres.

The point of what I do is that it doesn't really matter what a book or a story is as long it moves you, informs you, challenges you, entertains you, or changes you.

South Africa never leaves one indifferent. Its history, its population, its landscapes and cultures - all speak to the visitor, to the student, to the friend of Africa.

Ego gets you inches but it doesn't get you impact.

Because to take away a man's freedom of choice, even his freedom to make the wrong choice, is to manipulate him as though he were a puppet and not a person.

Getting attached to someone is more easy than being in love with someone. Attachment fades away with time and distance but love can be smelled till after death.

Home is where I work, and I work everywhere.

On the road from the City of Skepticism, I had to pass through the Valley of Ambiguity.

People and land need healing which is all inclusive - holistic.

We talk about players of yesteryear, guys who could play or couldn't play, and I think it's ridiculous to try to even compare people... The things that you can do in basketball today that you couldn't even do then... you can carry the ball; you walk all over the place.

I like your Christ, I do not like your Christians. Your Christians are so unlike your Christ.

I take the no-doughnut pledge, and then I break it.

Teach us to give and not to count the cost.

Anybody can be fit. But you have to be patient. Give your body some time to adjust.

A new constitution should be more amendable. A needlessly confusing system of courts should be altered to produce an arrangement that would be simple, responsible, and less awkward.

Anyone that says looks don't count is lying. Of course they do. Even babies go to the attractive face. It's the way humans work.

A cold will usually clear up in about three to five days, whereas with an allergy the sufferer may be sneezing or have difficulty breathing, but not run a fever like someone with a cold would.

I didn't know who Avedon was. I was 18 years old. I dropped out of high school in the 10th grade. I had no idea.

People sometimes get a little extra criticism when they try something that they don't normally do, but I think that's just a natural thing for artists. It's like, 'Okay, I did that, and now I want to try this.'

My attitude is that if anybody of any age wants to read a book, let them, but I do think that no child would want to read 'Boneland.'

The American cinema in general always made stories about working-class people; the British rarely did. Any person with my working-class background would be a villain or a comic cipher, usually badly played, and with a rotten accent. There weren't a lot of guys in England for me to look up to.

By law, super PACs are required to disclose their donors. There are groups that have never had to disclose their donors, non-profits such as the Sierra Club, Planned Parenthood, the NAACP, and the NRA. If you want more disclosure, super PACs are a step forward.
