Deep breaths are very helpful at shallow parties.
More helpful than all wisdom is one draught of simple human pity that will not forsake us.
People often pulled into Scientology want to address personal problems in their life and Scientology says we have technology that addresses these kinds of problems. Just focusing on the problems and trying to remedy them can be helpful.
I do know a lot about Scientology. And I know about the practices. I know all about what the technology is and all that kind of stuff. It's very helpful.
I remember the mentoring experiences of some teachers that I had like a second term home room teacher in public school that really was very helpful to me.
It was helpful to have the American troops there in great strength. They knew there'd be consequences if they didn't move back. Now there has been some removal of the foreign forces.
I remember when I was growing up I always wore glasses and so if I was on-stage or just being able to move around playing sports I was never really able to because I had glasses holding me back. Wearing contacts has just been very helpful.
You know I think that going into therapy is a very positive thing and talking about it is really helpful because the more you talk the more your fears fade because you get it out.
I know I'm not a wordsmith. And I don't write poetry. Sometimes I think I should because it's really helpful. But I always wanted to write novels.
Any time you stop looking at evil as a black and white thing it's helpful. So the fact that there won't be any obligatory Islamic terrorist stereotypes in movies any more that'd be helpful.
A man is ethical only when life as such is sacred to him that of plants and animals as that of his fellow men and when he devotes himself helpfully to all life that is in need of help.
Learning about the way people process information and their emotions is hugely helpful to my work.
It's hard for me to imagine that some people in the CIA who had firsthand knowledge would be unable to recognize that this would be helpful information for a soldier's death.
But ours was intended to be a citizen government. It is what of by and for the people means. And when our most important issue in California is the creation of jobs I think it's quite helpful to have someone in the U.S. Senate or in the governor's seat who actually knows where jobs come from.
Government is an unnecessary evil. Human beings when accustomed to taking responsibility for their own behavior can cooperate on a basis of mutual trust and helpfulness.
I love readings and my readers but the din of voices of the audience gives me stage fright and the din of voices inside whisper that I am a fraud and that the jig is up. Surely someone will rise up from the audience and say out loud that not only am I not funny and helpful but I'm annoying and a phony.
Flowers always make people better happier and more helpful they are sunshine food and medicine for the soul.
I have a lot of responsibilities outside myself. I have a large family. I want to know I can always be helpful.
We had great faith that with patience understanding and education that my family and I could be helpful in changing their minds and attitudes around.
My dad has always been really helpful. He taught me that talent is a bonus but persistence is what wins out.
My dad said 'The thing that I was told that was really helpful was that I mustn't be afraid of the things I was afraid of when I was five years old'. The shock of his childhood had put him in this defensive crouch against the world and he needed to know that he had a nice wife and kids and it wasn't the same any more.
Having a child makes you strong and gives you chutzpah. It relaxed my attitude to the job my center of focus shifted which I think is very helpful because even if you're not a very indulgent actor you spend a lot of time thinking about yourself. I don't think that is particularly healthy.
No one's going to be able to operate without a grounding in the basic sciences. Language would be helpful although English is becoming increasingly international. And travel. You have to have a global attitude.
I believed my story would be helpful to young women my daughter's age who are still in the process of forming themselves as women and in need of encouragement to remain true to themselves.
For the past 21 years I've been privileged to be part of an amazing organization called the International Women's Media Foundation.
