More quotes by Tom Shadyac
Authenticity means to be the author of your own life.
Tom Shadyac
Simplicity. Simplicity. Simplicity. The three keys to a spiritual life.
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
We started by asking what’s wrong with the world, and we ended up discovering what’s right with it.
Tom Shadyac
If you look at the Bible as a whole, it's redemptive and beautiful, and it's God's love story to mankind.
Tom Shadyac
The bike accident caused me to start talking about spiritual truths. This accident - where I faced my own death - compelled me to talk about these truths and try to make a movie about them.
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
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 hope people start to look at their lives as the most powerful, creative act they will ever offer this world.
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
You send a message in everything you do, Im always very conscious about what ideas and what energy I put out there.
Tom Shadyac
Hope is the belief we might get it done, and faith is the knowledge we will get it done.
Tom Shadyac
I am part of a divine essence. I don't have to become anything. I already am.
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
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.
Tom Shadyac
Theres one fundamental law that all of nature obeys that mankind breaks every day. Now, this is a law thats evolved over billions of years, and the law is this: Nothing in nature takes more than it needs.
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
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 believe in unity, as opposed to division.
