I believe that music in itself heals and that everything is about the power of the mind. I thought if you are happy you don't get ill. Your health is in your head. When you are satisfied with your work you don't get ill.

I remember the first pangs of stress arriving at the end of school. Once I graduated I had to get a full-time job worry about health insurance saving money paying rent - things I'd never thought about before.

I work very hard on my health and I think about it of course like I've never thought before.

A wise man should consider that health is the greatest of human blessings and learn how by his own thought to derive benefit from his illnesses.

Marriage is wild. I thought it was this perfect land of happiness and joy. Wrong! After you say you do you don't for a long time.

Happiness is not a possession to be prized it is a quality of thought a state of mind.

You know American citizens I don't think ever thought that the right to the pursuit of happiness did not include the right to marry the person you love. But for a whole number of Americans gay Americans that happens to be true.

I've often thought if I didn't make my marriage work I would have failed at my one true shot at happiness.

When I was a little kid all I wanted to do was to escape what I thought was the country and get to a city. Probably film and television had influenced me so much I really thought the key to happiness was living a very artificial life in a penthouse in New York with martini glasses.

Try to make at least one person happy every day. If you cannot do a kind deed speak a kind word. If you cannot speak a kind word think a kind thought. Count up if you can the treasure of happiness that you would dispense in a week in a year in a lifetime!
