Happy Birthday Kevin Sorbo!

I'm definitely more understanding of people who have disabilities and who are suffering.

Sei ein Atheist, wenn Du magst. Aber sage mir nicht, dass ich nicht an Gott glauben darf.

If you ever watched 'Hercules,' you can see that it was made in a comical way for the most part. I remember getting lots of letters from kids around the world saying that the show helped them curb their temper and not look for trouble and just walk away from it because that was the stronger thing to do.

Christianity takes this beating that I really don't understand and yet you can't say anything negative about the Muslims because that's horrible, you can't say anything negative about other faiths.

I've always been a religious guy, but not overly religious. I've always believed in God and Jesus. I pray.

Jung said that the shadow is the source of flow. The secret of anything intimate is from the shadow.

I almost lost two of my toes to frostbite. I had been cold and hungry, contemplating death and thinking about life. That is often the stuff of epiphanies, and there it was: I knew what I wanted to do with my life.

But you have to see that this isn’t a setback. The problem would be to never have to face this issue: getting to be fifty and never actually growing up—because that’s what the shadow means. Accepting your weaknesses as part of you. There is a priceless benefit to learning this lesson now if you can learn it.

The act of suffering does not make you a victim—only your point of view can do that.

You are going to have to say, ‘I can’t do that. I need this from you.’ You have to talk to your shadow—to the weaker part of you—and, paradoxically, that will keep you safe. You have to do that or else this thing’ll fuckin’ kill you.

It is truly the only way to love your job: keep challenging yourself to do better.

The scenery was vibrant and green. I was pallid and unsteady. I didn’t belong here. What had been so certain before—everything—was now in question. I wondered what I had left to give to a character that I had created and, in so many ways, had equally created me.

It is astonishing how fragile we are as well as how strong.

I looked around at these friends, my coworkers for five years, and I saw love and respect—and also pity. It was just as well I would be sitting for the scene. Their genuine outpouring of support overwhelmed and humbled me.

Sam had a theory that a person combats any serious illness on three fronts: physical, spiritual, and emotional.

The act of suffering does not make you a victim—only your point of view can do that. Even loss can enrich.

Fear is an extraordinary artist, stimulating the mind to reminisce, as if to divine where fairytale meets horror novel.

Even moldy bread can give you penicillin, but you have to have the recipe. Dr. Norie charged me with making that recipe for myself.

I can’t control the neurological stuff, but the He-Man attitude? Uh-unh.” He shakes his head. “The Superman part of you is actually inhuman, and you have to fuckin’ abandon it. That outer shell has to go. You have to feel deeper than that.

You cannot solve a disease of thought—a spinning mind—with more thoughts. It won’t work.

It doesn't matter how successful you are in this business, it's tough to get through the next door.

The funny thing about television is that once you start to do it you never get time to watch it.

Well, anything can happen and it happened to me. I learned everybody has a story.

Hollywood likes to put out their own message out a lot of times, and that message isn't the best one for everyone.

If you keep saying two plus two equals five over and over again, then that is what people are going to think. Maybe it does equal five if we keep changing the definition of what's normal and what's right and what's wrong.

This is our lance. See, you're making me laugh about this now, because there have been a few jokes on the set about what they actually look like. But, see, I personally think they'd be a great toy. So... just batteries aren't included.
