It's not a slam at you when people are rude, it's a slam at the people they've met before.

When someone else is getting punished you show up, you eat some lunch, you sit back because you're not going to do anything. But when you're the one that has to go, that whole day is a very miserable...

Getting to know someone else involves curiosity about where they have come from, who they are.

Kindness is something that I feel is leaving us a little bit - people are getting more self-involved.

I have lived poverty. I didn't choose it. No one would choose humiliation, pain, and rage.

I have some cops in my family. I understand the predicament that they're in. Sometimes they go into it just to pay the bills or because they don't have other choices, or sometimes they just want to...

Physical hunger and physical poverty is something I could only imagine. I've been poor when I was in China... As kids we never had to starve, but just didn't have enough meat, enough rice.

I know what it's like not to have food in the fridge or money to buy more.

It is easy to make people cry. Everyone has pain in their lives and we all strive hard to keep that smile on our face.

I pick up on other people's discomfort.

If you see a kid who's not having the best day, you can make the day better just by giving him a smile. Or her.

When I was younger, I used to think it was kind of cool to abuse actors mentally, but I really disagree with that now.

I used to be a keen rider. Sometimes I could sense what a horse liked or preferred to do.

I was in the Army in the 1960s. I didn't go to Vietnam. I went to Germany, where I drank beer. But I did have an empathy with the soldiers in Vietnam.

Like everyone else in the first weeks after the tragedy of 9/11, I was looking frantically for some way to help.

I wanted to live the inner life of every man I saw, look at the world through his eyes.

Many of us have experienced the pain that comes with watching a loved one suffer with a serious illness. We also know that we would do absolutely anything it takes to help them beat it.

I limited myself to introduce a change in my way of thinking and the way I see things. When I look at my child, I do it in a different way than when I'm contemplating a chair. They are different......

I hate being mean. I watch those roasts on Comedy Central and they make the hair on the back of my neck stand up.

If I was in a store and someone shushed me in a scary way, that would affect me. If someone was mean to me, I could feel like the little girl. 'Why would they be mean to her?'

If I don't behave nicely with the media for one day, the next day, there will be stories written about my rudeness but nobody will understand what problems I must be facing in my real life.

I believe you should help people.

Going through heart surgery, being on blood thinners, having been in the hospital is not something you want to go through. I wouldn't wish it on my worst enemy.

The biggest misconception about the homeless is that they got themselves in the mess - let them get themselves out. Many people think they are simply lazy. I urge those to make a friend at a local...

I think people are interesting enough. People with mental illness, or just real people going through real circumstances in life.

Tragedy levels the playing field.

I'd like to make a sincere lament for the victims of Sichuan earthquake. I will pray for them with all of my heart.

Without accepting the other person's thinking, you cannot further your own interest. You need the other's help to get results.

Me, personally in life, I try to respect every opinion because every human life is different.

Nobody sets out to be evil. They're insecure, and they make bad decisions.
