pain love-you suffering
Audrey was the kind of person who when she saw someone else suffering tried to take their pain on herself. She was a healer. She knew how to love. You didn't have to be in constant contact with her to feel you had a friend. We always picked up right where we left off.
change life-changing character
I realized that if what we call human nature can be changed, then absolutely anything is possible. From that moment my life changed.
moving thinking qigong
The spirit is something to be enjoyed. It is not a harsh discipline. And I think people should take some time everyday for some kind of moving meditation, like Qigong or Tai Chi.
birthday age old-age
I've gotten crankier in my old age.
hurt feelings care
I'm not unaware of how I'm perceived, I just don't care about it. Unless I really hurt someone's feelings. I care about that.
people actors dull
An actor has many lives and many people within him. I know there are lots of people inside me. No one ever said I'm dull.
running rain eight
I do miss the stage. There's nothing like it, nothing. When I did my one-woman show and played the Palace and played the Gershwin and all that, I did - what? - eight shows or maybe more a week. Of course you can't do anything else, and you can't run quickly for a cab in the rain, and you can't have a drunken love affair. You can't do any of that. Because you've got to be perfectly healthy. And I guess I value enjoying my life a little bit more than the discipline these days.
sweet heart thinking
Some people think I look like a sweet potato, I consider myself a spud with a heart of gold.
doctors knees video
I had a video made of my recent knee operation. The doctor said it was the best movie I ever starred in.
real home thinking
You think you have a handle on God, the Universe, and the Great White Light until you go home for Thanksgiving. In an hour, you realize how far you've got to go and who is the real turkey.
real gentleman insult
He's a real gentleman. I bet he takes the dishes out of the sink before he pees in it.
struggle dark sides
Nothing should be permanent except struggle with the dark side within ourselves.
art negative who-we-are
Art is about energy positive and negative. All art has the power to heal because it helps us see who we are, and what we resist.
baby children believe
When a child comes in, I believe that it's a 'multipersonhood,' and it knows it, its consciousness knows it, and it has a nuclei in the center of its consciousness that is the repository of all experience and all knowledge. And when you look in the eyes of your baby and you feel this sense that they are an old soul, I believe indeed they are.
