• I was born in an odd spot and was a very sensitive kid. My feelings could get hurt so easily because I always wanted to be loved, I wanted to be touched, I wanted to touch somebody. I wanted everybody to love me, so I think I was louder than I should have been. I was just trying to get attention. I always felt like I was somebody special, maybe it's because I needed to be somebody special.

• People are only animals, but special animals. Every animal has fought and killed to survive, even before the dinosaurs. We're the only ones that do it for fun.

• When you begin to believe you have license because you are a special person breathing special oxygen, that's when you're in big trouble. That's the road to insanity.

• In the light of consciousness all sorts of things happen and one need not give special importance to any. The sight of a flower is as marvelous as the vision of God. Let them be. Why remember them and then make memory into a problem? Be bland about them; do not divide them into high and low, inner and outer, lasting and transient. Go beyond, go back to the source, go to the self that is the same whatever happens.

  Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj

• When I was growing up, I wanted to be a coach. I had people telling me you can't do this, you're not a great player. Be realistic.

You have something special within you and that is your spirit for life which will help you get to the top."
