There is more to life than increasing its speed.
I think in metaphysical terms, I would call that increasing the speed of the vibration of life.
I've had some incredibly triumphal things happen in my life.
If you're a comedian, you can change peoples lives for the better in much smaller increments - not their entire life, but for 15 minutes or a half hour.
Transformation in real life is extraordinarily incremental, and that's all I'm going to say.
It's a manic-depressive life. You run in here, you open your incubator, your experiment makes no sense, you think, 'I hate this job.' Then ten minutes later you think, 'Well, now, maybe I'll try this or I'll try that.' You do it because you know there will be an 'a-ha!' day.
I see my upbringing as a great success story. By disciplining me, my parents inculcated self-discipline. And by restricting my choices as a child, they gave me so many choices in my life as an adult. Because of what they did then, I get to do the work I love now.
Instead of becoming a great shikari, as my mother and stepfather might have wished, I had become an incurable bookworm and was to remain one for the rest of my life.
I'm an incurable optimist, and I'm a great believer in never looking back. Life is too short, and new challenges are exciting.
Life is an incurable disease.
My father first brought yoga into my life when I was 7. He began yoga, meditation, and diet to help with his back injuries incurred from being really athletic. Once he healed, he began to use yoga to take his body to a new level.
If you are successful, it is because somewhere, sometime, someone gave you a life or an idea that started you in the right direction. Remember also that you are indebted to life until you help some less fortunate person, just as you were helped.
I fear debt. I don't like being indebted to banks. I have a rule in life that I will get it when I can afford it.
I am forever indebted to the ANC, the liberation movement I have served almost all my life.
I've never been able to plan my life. I just lurch from indecision to indecision.
I'm plagued with indecision in my life. I can't figure out what to order in a restaurant.
My personal opinion is that life begins at the point of conception, and abortion is morally indefensible.
The shock of any trauma, I think changes your life. It's more acute in the beginning and after a little time you settle back to what you were. However it leaves an indelible mark on your psyche.
When somebody is making a movie about your life, that's different. A show is a live performance. Things are going to go wrong. You are going to get away with things. A movie is indelible. A movie is through a microscope.
I'm happy I've stayed because Rome has become my home and an indelible part of my life, in an almost unreal way.
