“There are times, perhaps once every thirty years, when there is a sea-change in politics. It then does not matter what you say or what you do. There is a shift in what the public wants and what it approves of. I suspect there is now such a sea-change and it is for Mrs. Thatcher.”

“I remember a Stephen Harper once upon a time… You've become what you used to oppose… Mr. Harper, what happened to you? What changed?”

“No matter what challenging situation you may find yourself in, imagine the best outcome of it and feel it! When you do, you will change the circumstances, and you will change the situation into what you want!”

“Do you want to be what you are or do you want to be what continually changes what you are?”

“The clouds, never expect it,
When it rains
But the sea changes color,
But the sea does not change”

“What you do every day matters more than what you do once in a while.”

“Every second of every minute of every hour of every day you are making decisions. These choices are about what will change, and how. You are doing nothing but changing. How you are changing is up to you. What you are evolving into is up to you.”

“The biggest gaslight of all is when people say "I love you and I want you" while trying to change who you are into what they want you to be.”

“I gave to you, now, you give to me
I'd like to know what you learned.
The sky is blue and so is the sea
What is the color, when black is burned?”

“I can tell you that once upon a time when I was doing public events people would ask me, "What do you think about the arts?, What do you think of the role of women?, What do you think of men?, What do you think of all of these things?", and now they ask one thing, and that one thing is this, "Is there hope?"”
