Disaster, to me, means in some big or small way, things going wrong. And that's obviously a matter of perception, right? Let's say your puppy chewed up all the shoes in your house. She probably had a fine time doing that. In her mind, a red letter day, the highlight of her puppy life.

In general, I think I'm quick to worry about disasters of all kinds.

Disasters are usually a good time to re-examine what we've done so far, what mistakes we've made, and what improvements should come next.

I certainly wouldn't say that my life is a disaster, but there have been moments where I've felt like that.

I always tried to turn every disaster into an opportunity.

Everything that happens is meant to be. It's meant to happen like that. But sometimes you don't know at the time that it's meant to be disaster.

Alas, I emerge from one disaster to fall into a worse.

One could see that what you are writing was that today's meeting with President Bill Clinton was going to be a disaster. Now, for the first time, I can tell you that you are a disaster.

Sometimes you have to make a complete disaster of your life in such an epic way that it will be absolutely clear to you what you've been doing.

There is a tomorrow after a disaster, and it's sometimes hard to remember that in the midst of it.
