Whether you're successful or not, you'll never actually feel the joys of accomplishment unless you love yourself. Success can be very difficult to deal with. You have to stay in the center. If you let your success define you, then you're really just setting yourself up for failure.

The ability to remain calm and focused in stressful situations is central to making positive decisions.

I try to stay positive and be very, very active.

People ask if I feel pigeon-holed by always doing the same kind of humorous role. But my tool has always been humor because it's the most entertaining way to put any ideology across, and it's fun, and it's positive, and it's a healer. Laughter is God's gift. I feel privileged to be able to do it.

A lasting relationship isn't about marriage. It's about compatibility and communication. And you both need to want it to work.

Being a dancer is my metaphor for life because you have to know your body. Being a dancer and paying attention to fitness is all about moving in balance.

The interesting part of my spiritual life is studying as much as you can. Islam and Buddhism and Hinduism and Shamanism and Judaism, Christianity - you try to learn what the precepts are, what the religion is, and ultimately, it's based in the same thought, it's based in the same outcome, you know.

One way to feel good about yourself is to love yourself... to take care of yourself.

What we want to help children with is, just because you feel sad or happy or depressed doesn't mean that is who you are. We want them to know, 'I am really sad right now, but I am not a sad person.'

We can't turn a blind eye to the importance of the well-being of our children, and we need to pay close attention to building the future leaders of tomorrow.

You have to look to the future with optimism instead of negative ideas. Take the good and the bad and face it head on.

To me, it's that incredible sense of belonging and peace within your own self and heart that really is joy.

No relationship is easy, and nobody should ever think it is. The minute you start forgetting the needs of the other person is when you get in trouble.

Not every relationship works, and that is the truth, and I don't care whether you're a movie star or just a person on the street, normal life. Everybody's normal, relationships are always normal. I think movie stars have a little bit harder time because the cameras are on there all the time. But you have to be who you are.

It's ridiculous to have to base your relationship on money.

I'm a dreamer with lots of energy and a vivid imagination. That's the recipe for becoming an entertainer.

I have witnessed the softening of the hardest of hearts by a simple smile.

A body smiles, like, 72 times a day. Where does that smile go? That's what I want to know.
