Why not share with the world the way it is and tell them my feelings about my cat and how I played with my kids and how addicted to Christmas time I am and the smell of pine needles and hearing my kids laugh.

I think Christmas is about celebration and come on on the inside everyone wants to dance.

I suppose if you look back to your early childhood you accept everything people tell you and that includes a heavy dose of irrationality - you're told about tooth fairies and Father Christmas and things.

A lovely thing about Christmas is that it's compulsory like a thunderstorm and we all go through it together.

What I don't like about office Christmas parties is looking for a job the next day.

I don't think people understand that being poor means you have to work from dawn until dusk just to survive through the day. I think there's some notion that poor people lie about all day not doing anything.

I suppose for me as an artist it wasn't always just about expressing my work I really wanted more than anything else to contribute in some way to the culture that I was living in. It just seemed like a challenge to move it a little bit towards the way I thought it might be interesting to go.

Actresses can get outrageously precious about the way they look. That's not what life's about. If you starve yourself to the point where your brain cells shrivel you will never do good work. And if you're overly conscious of your arms flapping in the wind how can you look the other actor in the eye to respond to them?

A man can believe a considerable deal of rubbish and yet go about his daily work in a rational and cheerful manner.

I was all about my thoughts my work my inspiration. I was always in hair.

I like to talk about my obsession with french fries because I don't want people to think that 'Let's Move' is about complete utter deprivation. It's about moderation and real-life changes and ideas that really work for families.

It sometimes makes people feel better about themselves you know to put other people down or make fun of them or maybe make mockery of their work and that doesn't make me feel good at all.

When I was younger I probably didn't understand something basic about tact but I think it kept faint-hearted people at arm's distance and that's not such a bad thing because life is short and I know the kind of people I want to work with.

The thing about the 600 words I mean some day you can do a very very very hard day's work and not write a word just revising or you would scribble a few words.

The bottom line is when people are crystal clear about the most important priorities of the organization and team they work with and prioritized their work around those top priorities not only are they many times more productive they discover they have the time they need to have a whole life.

Work joyfully and peacefully knowing that right thoughts and right efforts inevitably bring about right results.

My work is about my life and what I want to do with it.

The work on ants has profoundly affected the way I think about humans.

It's not about how much movement you do how much interaction there is it just reeks of credibility if it's real. If it's contrived it seems to work for a while for the people who can't filter out the real and unreal.

We learned about dignity and decency - that how hard you work matters more than how much you make... that helping others means more than just getting ahead yourself.

A child from the time he can think should think about all he sees should suffer for all who cannot live with honesty should work so that all men can be honest and should be honest himself.

I just get things done instead of talking about getting them done. I don't go out and party. I don't smoke drink or do drugs and I'm not married that leaves a lot of time for my work.

I guess what I learned the most was to feel lucky with what I have been able to accomplish and what I have and to feel humble about the people I have been able to work with.

Instead of asking 'How much damage will the work in question bring about?' why not ask 'How much good? How much joy?'
