Tom Shadyac
I am part of a divine essence. I don't have to become anything. I already am.
Tom Shadyac
I didn't want to hear the usual answers about what's wrong because I believe these are symptoms: global warming, genocide, hunger, poverty, war, environmental crisis. If we can identify the root cause, we can change our ways.
Tom Shadyac
Simplicity. Simplicity. Simplicity. The three keys to a spiritual life.
Tom Shadyac
Hope is the belief we might get it done, and faith is the knowledge we will get it done.

In movies you can shoot a guy 3,000 times and get a 'PG-13', but if you say the 'F' word twice it's automatically an 'R'. I'll let that be its own comment.

TRUTH: When a child believes he must win to be worthy, when young adults define themselves by what they do and not who they are, it is a kind of slavery a slave master would envy.
Tom Shadyac
I am operating under the philosophy that I will simply use what I need and the rest - even if I still have it somewhere - is not mine. It is others'. It is for the healing of the natural world. And it is in the process of returning.
Tom Shadyac
I have not walked away from Hollywood. I'm walking away from the way I personally did business in Hollywood. The budget of whatever movie I do needs to be efficient it needs to consider what kind of resources we're using and how to be as responsible as possible.
Tom Shadyac
We started by asking what’s wrong with the world, and we ended up discovering what’s right with it.
Tom Shadyac
You can't sow an apple seed and expect to get an avocado tree. The consequences of your life are sown in what you do and how you behave.
Tom Shadyac
When an individual changes in even a small way he immediately changes the world around him. And that concentric circle moves out and changes everything.
Tom Shadyac
Love is the essential energy of the universe. It is the force that puts the stars in the firmament, and it makes the blood run through the veins.
Tom Shadyac
You send a message in everything you do, Im always very conscious about what ideas and what energy I put out there.
Tom Shadyac
As I won, I didn't feel the fruits of that. I felt the fruits when I served others, when I gave myself away. . . . I've always seen my life as an experiment. I just want to go to what works. As I felt the charity aspect in my life, the giving aspect, I felt a power and I've walked more into that.
Tom Shadyac
Our culture does not teach us this, but what happens in Vegas does not stay in Vegas. If you cheat in Vegas, it comes right home with you. If you cheat in Vegas, you walk home as a cheater. You lie awake at a night a cheater. You cannot escape it.
