More quotes by 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
I come from a family of lawyers. I was expected to be a professional of some sort, not an artist. I was never uplifted for my art.
Tom Shadyac
I don't have any interest in changing a system, because the system will simply get bucked back by people who haven't changed.
Tom Shadyac
I wasn't paying enough attention to what my heart was telling me. When I paid attention and got the message, I could move forward and heal.
Tom Shadyac
My dad's half-Lebanese, my mom is full Lebanese. I'm three-quarters Lebanese. Irish-Lebanese.
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
Hope is the belief we might get it done, and faith is the knowledge we will get it done.
Tom Shadyac
The word contentment comes from the word content, which is what we hold inside - love, value, a feeling of a life that has meaning or purpose, a cause greater than yourself that you're a part of. These are the things that bring true happiness. As a culture, I think we need to redefine what it means to be happy.
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
Death is not the enemy. A life lived without love is the enemy.
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
I believe in unity, as opposed to division.
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
I hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
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
I am part of a divine essence. I don't have to become anything. I already am.
Tom Shadyac
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.
Tom Shadyac
Simplicity. Simplicity. Simplicity. The three keys to a spiritual life.
Tom Shadyac
The one thing that advances a society is not technology or so-called development its love - that one principle.
Tom Shadyac
