Remember that not getting what you want is sometimes a wonderful stroke of luck.

Pain nourishes courage. You can't be brave if you've only had wonderful things happen to you.

Surround yourself with only people who are going to lift you higher.

The choice to love is the choice to connect — to find ourselves in the other.

That's the very reason they put rubbers on the end of pencils... because people make mistakes.

Love is something that if you give it away, you end up having more.

All art is autobiographical; the pearl is the oyster’s autobiography.

I restore myself when I'm alone. A career is born in public — talent in privacy.

If you feel you are in a black hole, don't give up. There's a way out.

I was smart enough to go through any door that opened.

There are things that are not sayable. That's why we have art.

Let everything you do be done in love.
