“Just to travel is rather boring, but to travel with a purpose is educational and exciting.”
“Fate is a story that's been written for you by somebody else. By your parent's genes, by what happened to you when you were a child, by your culture, by the fact that you were born a man or a woman. Destiny is a story that you write.”
“Well, my father's people were Mormon, and had immigrated not long after Brigham Young had settled Utah.”
“We do not claim that punning is legitimate wit. Wit consists in combination of ideas, punning in combination of words only.

“If you put your hand into a fire, does anyone have to tell you to move it? Do you have to decide? No: When your hand starts to burn, it moves. You donâ€™t have to direct it; the hand moves itself. In the same way, once you understand, through inquiry, that an untrue thought causes suffering, you move away from it.”
“There is hunger for ordinary bread, and there is hunger for love, for kindness, for thoughtfulness, and this is the great poverty that makes people suffer so much.”
“My whole thing is to entertain, make people laugh and to forget about the real world for awhile.”
