"Every day, mindful practice. When the mind is disciplined then the Way can work for us. Otherwise, all we do is talk of Tao; everything is just words; and the world will know us as its one great fool."

-- Li Ching-Yuen

“I guess maybe my art can be said to be a protest. I see things a certain way, and as an artist Iâ€™m privileged in that arena to protest or say publicly what Iâ€™m thinking about. Maybe the strongest work Iâ€™ve done is because it was done with indignation. Considering myself as a feminist, I donâ€™t want my work to be a reaction to what male art might be or what art with a capital A would be. I just want it to be art. In a convoluted way, I am protesting- protesting the usual way art is looked at, being shoved into a period or category.”
“In a revolution one wins or dies, if it is a real one”
“When we relate to our bodies as having soul, we attend to their beauty, their poetry and their expressiveness. Our very habit of treating the body as a machine, whose muscles are like pulleys and its organs engines, forces its poetry underground, so that we experience the body as an instrument and see its poetics only in illness.”

“Mainly, my job is to be on the outside and bring ideas into the company and forge change. Most people hate changeâ€”itâ€™s threatening. I thrive on it.”
“Jesus does not respond to our worry-filled way of living by saying that we should not be so busy with worldly affairs. He does not try to pull us away from the many events, activities, and people that make up our lives. . . . He asks us to shift the point of gravity, to relocate the center of our attention, to change our priorities. Jesus does not speak about a change of activities, a change in contacts, or even a change of pace. He speaks about a change of heart.”
“The Bible is a book that has been read more and examined less than any book that ever existed.”
“If you don't know the blues... there's no point in picking up the guitar and playing rock and roll or any other form of popular music.”
“In the movies I've done for Sony, they've never given me quadrant specific notes ever. They say "Keep making it. Just make the movie you want to do." Especially in a comedy because comedy is so tone specific.”
