For me, just being on the cover of a magazine wasn't enough. I began to think, what value is there in doing something in which you have no creative input?

Look around at day-to-day life for ideas, and it finds its way into your work.

I have more ideas than I'll ever be able to write in five lifetimes.

Every day, I read about new ideas and research that could help someone I care about live a longer and healthier life.

It also is true that some ideas naturally work themselves out over a longer period of time than a single human life can encompass.

Our life is a book that writes itself and whose principal themes sometimes escape us. We are like characters in a novel who do not always understand what the author wants of them.

I have too many ideas for a lifetime.

I get inspiration from my everyday life.

Pick up any newspaper or magazine, open the TV, and you'll be bombarded with suggestions of how to have a successful life. Some of these suggestions are deeply unhelpful to our own projects and priorities - and we should take care.

The strong desire to include every vital component of life instead of excluding part of them for the sake of too narrow and dogmatic an approach has characterized my whole life.
