“Laughter opens your heart and soothes your soul. No one should ever take life so seriously that they forget to laugh at themselves.”

“My advice to people today is as follows: If you take the game of life seriously, if you take your nervous system seriously, if you take your sense organs seriously, if you take the energy process seriously, you must turn on, tune in, and drop out.”

“Life is your art. An open, aware heart is your camera. A oneness with your world is your film. Your bright eyes and easy smile is your museum.”

“The only question that nobody ever asks is: What breaks your heart? I think that should be asked of all "artists."… So, what breaks your heart?”

“If your energy is as boundless as your ambition, total commitment may be a way of life you should seriously consider.”

“A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart.”

“You have to be able to center yourself, to let all of your emotions go. Don’t ever forget that you play with your soul as well as your body.”

“People tend the take everything too seriously. Especially themselves. Yep. And that's probably what makes 'em scared and hurt so much of the time. Life is too serious to take that seriously.”

“Life is what you make of it. There's always fun and laughs right under your nose if you're willing to open your eyes to see it.”

“Anyway, the trick is simply this: No matter what happens, keep your heart open. Wide open. The heart is made of love, and love is indestructible, and only the arrogance of ego would presume that it requires protection. To open your heart is to reduce your ego, and this is the only magic that is ever required to experience the naked truth.”
