If you’re embarrassed because you have some notion about how men are supposed to behave, and it doesn’t include weeping, then you have some personal work to do.

I care not what others think of what I do, but I care very much about what I think of what I do! That is character!

First and foremost, we need to be the adults we want our children to be. We should watch our own gossiping and anger. We should model the kindness we want to see.

My work is the only ground I’ve ever had to stand on. To put it bluntly, I seem to have a whole superstructure with no foundation, but I’m working on the foundation.

I’m not in this world to live up to your expectations and you’re not in this world to live up to mine.

If I feel anxious every time someone is staring at me, well, I can’t control what they stare at, but my reaction is, I’m just not going to go outside the house. I’m going to stay in and chill. And when I do go out, I understand what comes along with that.

I never hold a grudge.

I don’t have to be what you want me to be.

Fear is not a lasting teacher of duty.

There are no constraints on the human mind, no walls around the human spirit, no barriers to our progress except those we ourselves erect.

We must be our own before we can be another’s.

Remember you are just an extra in everyone else’s play.

I’ve learned a lot since I was a new mother. My approach to struggle and shame now is to talk to yourself like you’d talk to someone you love and reach out to tell your story.

We choose our joys and sorrows long before we experience them.

It is best to love wisely, no doubt; but to love foolishly is better than not to be able to love at all.

We all have possibilities we don’t know about. We can do things we don’t even dream we can do.

Avoid having your ego so close to your position that when your position falls, your ego goes with it.

I’ve 20,000 hours of clinical practice; you’re not naive after the first few thousand. I’ve helped people deal with things that most people can’t imagine.

The mind is everything. What you think you become.

None are more hopelessly enslaved than those who falsely believe they are free.

Books can only reveal us to ourselves, and as often as they do us this service we lay them aside.

Sports are such a great teacher. I think of everything they’ve taught me: camaraderie, humility, how to resolve differences.

I made bad decisions. I’m not denying that I made bad decisions.

Virtue is a state of war, and to live in it we have always to combat with ourselves.

All of our problems start in our minds.

One cannot violate the promptings of one’s nature without having that nature recoil upon itself.

It’s getting harder to make decisions to just want to do something to work… I’m trying to find things that are extremely challenging or mean something to me deeply.

People make jokes about my bosoms, why don’t they look underneath the breasts at the heart? It’s obvious I’ve got big ones and if people want to assume they’re not mine, then let them.

I was ashamed to admit I was hipped to the idea of acting. That’s why I started in with the props.

I am in my own head most of the time.

I restore myself when I’m alone.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

How few there are who have courage enough to own their faults, or resolution enough to mend them.

My one big regret is that I didn’t play on for ten more years.

Peace in the world starts with peace in oneself. If everyone lives mindfully, everyone will be more healthy, feel more fulfilled in their daily lives and there will be more peace.

Freedom is nothing but a chance to be better.

You have to be able to accept failure to get better.

I think it’s a very good thing to leave your country and look at it from afar.

I didn’t consider myself a fashion designer at all at the time of punk. I was just using fashion as a way to express my resistance and to be rebellious. I came from the country, and by the time I got to London, I considered myself to be very stupid. It was my ambition to understand the world I live in.

I fear that many a man’s good resolutions only need the ordinary fire of daily life to make them melt away. So, too, with fine professions and the boastings of perfection which abound in this age of shams.

The greatest and most important problems of life are all fundamentally insoluble. They can never be solved but only outgrown.

I say, beware of all enterprises that require new clothes, and not rather a new wearer of clothes.

One of the things I definitely think of as a driver of me is fear. And it’s fear of failure, fear of being overtaken.

I can handle pain.

I always wanted a family.

True self is non-self, the awareness that the self is made only of non-self elements. There’s no separation between self and other, and everything is interconnected. Once you are aware of that you are no longer caught in the idea that you are a separate entity.

Play not with paradoxes. That caustic which you handle in order to scorch others may happen to sear your own fingers and make them dead to the quality of things.

The greatest of faults, I should say, is to be conscious of none.

If you’re losing your soul and you know it, then you’ve still got a soul left to lose.

Always do what you are afraid to do.

I have always believed, and I still believe, that whatever good or bad fortune may come our way we can always give it meaning and transform it into something of value.

Success in its highest and noblest form calls for peace of mind and enjoyment and happiness which come only to the man who has found the work that he likes best.

As I get older, I tend to put more into family than I used to.

I’m actually a very honest person, and sometimes I end up like, ‚Man, I said too much.‘ It’s hard for me not to tell the truth when you ask me.

When you cease to exist, then who will you blame?

As a lifestyle you always being the focal point is innately unhealthy.

The world can criticize me, but l can always criticize it back.

Brad was a huge surprise to me. I think we were both the last two people who were looking for a relationship. I certainly wasn’t. I was quite content to be a single mom with Mad.

I use a stream-of-consciousness approach; if you don’t censor yourself, you end up with what you’re most concerned about, but you haven’t filtered it through your conscious mind. Then you craft it.

At one time, I was very angry. I even treated fashion like a kind of crusade: you were either with us or against us, that kind of feeling. Now I know we need ideas, not kicking down a door.

The more a person seeks security, the more that person gives up control over their life.
