I always wait a few days before returning e-mails from my friends because I don't want them to think I have nothing better to do

There are some secrets that we think we're keeping, but those secrets are actually keeping us.

Sometimes I think we keep secrets for the wrong reasons. If we could instead find that right person to talk to we might find that talking about an embarrassing story or admitting our frailty might lead to a more authentic relationship with others or ourselves.

Sometimes when we think we are keeping a secret, the secret is actually keeping us.

I just invite people to share a secret with me. It's not like I'm a psychiatrist who's going to react to it or a priest who's going to give you something to do. When you let it go, there's kind of this void and I think people like that.

Every single person has at least one secret that would break your heart. If we could just remember this, I think there would be a lot more compassion and tolerance in the world.
