I know for me, going back the person I've bad-mouthed or lied to is absolutely humiliating! But isn't it interesting that "humiliating" has the same root word as "humility"?

Meditation is the technique of inner conquest - and that is the real challenge. Those who have any guts should accept the inner challenge.

You attain to a bliss which cannot be taken away from you.

Not for one second do I not, like, pinch myself that I've had a successful acting career for 24 years. I am so grateful. But it's unfortunate that we live in a society that really puts a lot of pressure on women to look a certain way and to age a certain way. I think that sucks.
