Mama was my greatest teacher a teacher of compassion love and fearlessness. If love is sweet as a flower then my mother is that sweet flower of love.

These things will destroy the human race: politics without principle progress without compassion wealth without work learning without silence religion without fearlessness and worship without awareness.

Eventually we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace contentment happiness strength fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

There was just this amazing individuality. It's just a whole different world of optimism and fearlessness women taking off their bras and dancing around naked and a political hopefulness and involvement.

With age you see people fail more. You see yourself fail more. How do you keep that fearlessness of a kid? You keep going. Luckily I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.
