People can sense you lying on the camera, they can smell it. They know when you're not telling the truth. Then it does become reality-show bullshit.

You can turn just about any simple act into a practice of mindfulness, and it will nurture and nourish you; it will start your day off in a positive way.

If you're an addict, if you drink and you're putting a depressant into your body, it's going to cause serious problems.

We live in a society running from pain through alcohol, through too much exercise, through sugar, through drugs -- as opposed to realizing that these things come up because they are lessons. It's a way to wake you up.

I say to people, keep it simple. If you want to change your food, change your breakfast.

I wanted to share the experience of how yoga and meditation have transformed my life, how they have enabled me to observe who I am, first in my body, and then emotionally, and on to a kind of spiritual path.

I got back into the position of taking care of my husband, which is what I'd learned that I couldn't really do: you can love and make things okay to a certain extent, but you can't fix. I didn't quite learn that until the kayaking incident. It became so clear then.

I felt I had to share Idaho with my friend from New York because he'd shared New York with me, so I was going to share the beauty of nature with a man who went to museums and clubs late at night. But there was nothing to do where I lived at night.

I enjoyed doing Lipstick, but it scared me. I was very nervous. I couldn't wait for it to be over. It was very real, and I was just a kid.

But the experience that I had, which was basically just feeling loved and taken care of in a room full of thousands of people I didn't know, seemed to be a pretty strong sign that what I was doing was a good thing.

A lot of exercise is mindless; you can have music or the radio on and not be aware. But if you're aware in anything you do -- and it doesn't have to be yoga -- it changes you. Being present changes you.

I was taken by the romanticism of being thought of as an adult and living in a world that was completely new to me. I fell in love with acting then.

Even with mental health as well as physical health, it's about taking responsibility and knowing that you're part of the solution always.

Well, I was passionately curious about what my body was doing, and when I got the lessons on how to meditate, it seemed really solid to me. It seemed real.

Lets try to come to a place of compassion about mental illness, in all its forms, and help each other find healing.

Self-Realization Fellowship seemed like training. It was the training ground for finding a sense of peace in myself. Because that's my job. It's no one else's.

The answers we're looking for are all within ourselves, we just need to become better connected, more present -- to what we eat, to nature, to our surroundings and to our inner guide.

I believe that everybody comes from pain and a certain amount of dysfunction.

Everybody needs a way out of that pain. Many people choose drugs and alcohol. Some people obsessively exercise or develop strange dietary habits, which is what I did. At least it got me toward a path of healthier living.

If you don't step across the threshold of what you already know into the world of challenges, you never truly measure yourself.
