Swami Sivananda

Always do good to others. Be selfless. Mentally remove everything and be free. This is divine life. This is the direct way to Moksha or salvation.

The harder the struggle, the more glorious the triumph. Self-realization demands very great struggle.

Desire is poverty. Desire is the greatest impurity of the mind. Desire is the motive force for action. Desire in the mind is the real impurity. Even a spark of desire is a very great evil.

When I do my makeup, it kind of helps me get into the character that I'm trying to portray.

Acting is a masochistic form of exhibitionism. It is not quite the occupation of an adult.

I've conducted an experiment on my kids. Instead of denying them access to media, I've encouraged it. They read comic books, play Nintendo and watch way too much TV.
