responsibility thinking animal
Honestly, we'd probably be great parents. But it's a human being, and unless you think you have excellent skills and have a drive or yearning in you to do that, the amount of work that that is and responsibility - I wouldn't want to screw them up! We love our animals.
love hurt powerful
If we're destroying our trees and destroying our environment and hurting animals and hurting one another and all that stuff, there's got to be a very powerful energy to fight that. I think we need more love in the world. We need more kindness, more compassion, more joy, more laughter. I definitely want to contribute to that.
saying-thank-you ifs
If someone ever says you’re weird, say thank you.
book animal america
I personally chose to go vegan because I educated myself on factory farming and cruelty to animals, and I suddenly realized that what was on my plate were living things, with feelings. And I just couldn't disconnect myself from it any longer. I read books like 'Diet for a New America' and saw documentaries like 'Earthlings' and 'Meet your Meat,' and it became an easy choice for me.
funny bullying hurt
Most comedy is based on getting a laugh at somebody else's expense. And I find that that's just a form of bullying in a major way. So I want to be an example that you can be funny and be kind, and make people laugh without hurting somebody else's feelings.
brain use imagine
Human beings only use ten percent of their brains. Ten percent! Can you imagine how much we could accomplish if we used the other sixty percent?
funny hater trying
Normally, I try not to pay attention to my haters, but this time I'd like to talk about it, because my haters are my motivators.
inspirational successful soul
Find out who you are and be that person. That's what your soul was put on this Earth to be. Find that truth, live that truth and everything else will come.
graduation integrity giving
The most important thing in your life is to live your life with integrity and to not give in to peer pressure to try to be something that you're not.
thinking people feel-good
The world is filled with negativity. I want people to watch me and think, “I feel good, and I’m going to make somebody else feel good today.
choice host korean month next north sure
And be sure to look for me next month when I host the North Korean Peoples Choice Awards.
heart light broken
When your heart is broken, when your heart has cracks in it, it lets the light in.
hands brain way
The way I see it... If you need both of your hands for whatever it is you're doing, then your brain should probably be in on it too.
patience keys meditation
I'd like to be more patient! I just want everything now. I've tried to meditate, but it's really hard for me to stay still. I'd like to try to force myself to do it, because everybody says how wonderful meditation is for you, but I can't shut my mind up. So patience and learning is the key.
