My art and profession is to live.

Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.

There's nowhere you can be that isn't where you're meant to be...

We make up horrors to help us cope with the real ones.

Almost all our desires, when examined, contain something too shameful to reveal.

Live as if you were living a second time, and as though you had acted wrongly the first time.

If you have zest and enthusiasm, you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind.

On stage, I make love to 25,000 different people, then I go home alone.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

Everything we do is infused with the energy with which we do it. If we're frantic, life will be frantic. If we're peaceful, life will be peaceful. And so our goal in any situation becomes inner peace.

Never be bullied into silence. Never allow yourself to be made a victim. Accept no one's definition of your life; define yourself.

Anybody can dig a hole and plant a tree. But make sure it survives. You have to nurture it, you have to water it, you have to keep at it until it becomes rooted so it can take care or itself. There are so many enemies of trees.

When all life is seen as divine, everyone grows wings.

In the long history of humankind (and animal kind, too) those who learned to collaborate and improvise most effectively have prevailed

Do what's right for you, as long as it don't hurt no one
