That person has to be accountable for himself. I think that's what we have to do in society today is to be accountable for yourself. I think we have the tendency to always want to live someone else's life.

You're scrutinized all through your life - you're scrutinized by your family by yourself by society and your friends in a certain way shape or form.

If you want to use a cliche you must take full responsibility for it yourself and not try to fob it off on anon. or on society.

You've got all these books on self help getting to know yourself doing the right thing eating the so-called right foods even down to what books you have on your shelves. People are encouraged to look to themselves first as opposed to being a part of society.

I think the enemy is self-censorship. In a free society the biggest danger is that you're afraid to the point where you censor yourself.

I push every day against forces that say you have to go faster be more effective be more productive you have to constantly outdo yourself you have to constantly outdo your neighbor - all of the stuff that creates an incredibly productive society but also a very neurotic one.

The little things I can obey. But the big things - how we think what we value - those you must choose yourself. You can't let anyone - or any society - determine those for you.

You have to promote yourself you have to have this smile on your face all the time and be this nice guy - which I am!

Even if you're unhappy just pretend that you're happy. Eventually your smile will be contagious to yourself. I had to learn that. I used to think 'I'm being fake ' but you know what? Better to be fake and happy than real and miserable.

If you force yourself to smile within a couple minutes you feel happy.
