I am compelled to continuously see the bright side. It is in my DNA. My kids look at me and say: 'Mom, you're so happy!' And I do feel happy. I feel joyful inside. I can't explain it.

Ich glaube wirklich, dass Männer nichts dafür können, wenn sie fremd gehen. Schuld sind die Hormone. Das Testosteron in ihrem Körper sorgt dafür, dass sie sich nicht unter Kontrolle haben.

My mother loved the Bible.

I believe having religion in your life creates the potential for long-lasting relationships.

I want to know where joy lives. I'd interview scientists, religious leaders and heads of state. I'd want to find out exactly what makes people happy. I'd want to look into the biology, the chemistry of the human brain.

So curiosity, I think, is a really important aspect of staying young or youthful.

I was born Jewish, and I consider that my religion. But I've studied all religions, and as you learn more, you really learn that everyone's praying to the same God.

I love making people laugh and by the way I still do that with the charitable efforts on my part because I believe that people need to laugh.

I've been practicing Buddhism for a while. So, I call myself a Jew-Bu, because my tribe is still Jew. But my philosophy and my practice is really Buddhist.

It's wonderful to move forward technologically, but we cannot forget that we are human beings who thrive on relationships, who thrive on interconnectivity, who thrive on sharing your feelings and emotions.

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

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

I'm deeply, deeply passionate about creating peace and well-being in the classroom, and well-being as a global nation.

I noted that people are happy here in India. When I went back home, people had everything in the materialistic sense and were surrounded with abundance, but they were not happy.

We need to habituate better thinking to appreciate more of your day because that has a neurological correlate.

We have to embrace obstacles to reach the next stage of joy.

Peter Sellers was great to work with. A lovely man. A little bit crazy in that he - you know, as I say, it was hard. It was sort of balancing a very delicate spirit on a needle. You know, because you never know where he was going.

The biggest lesson we have to give our children is truth.

When you have a Jewish mother who has a very strong Jewish family, it's very ethnic in its practices. Eating brisket, the food and the family and the interconnectedness for better or worse.

The only thing that will make you happy is being happy with who you are, and not who people think you are.

Youthfulness is connected to the ability to see things new for the first time. So if your eyes still look at life with wonder, then you will seem young, even though you may not be chronologically young.

Paparazzi will try to get the most controversial picture of you in a compromising position because that's how they're going to sell it.

I wrote the book because I wanted to be able to share some things that I had learned and as pompous as that may sound, as you get to a certain point in life, you figure so what am I doing?

To find someone who loves your children like you do is really rare.

I'm a woman who was raised to believe that you are not complete unless you have a man. Well, in some ways it's true. I am a feminist to a point. But I'm not going to deny the fact that I love to be with men.

My eyes are too big, my nose is too flat, my ears stick out, my mouth is too big and my face is too small... my body is thin as a clarinet and my ankles are so skinny that I wear two pairs of bobby socks because I don't want people to see how thin they are.

All I ever wanted to be was happy.

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.

What helps with aging is serious cognition - thinking and understanding. You have to truly grasp that everybody ages. Everybody dies. There is no turning back the clock. So the question in life becomes: What are you going to do while you're here?

I'm not afraid of my femininity and I'm not afraid of my sexuality.
