Danny Amendola Quotes

I've had a fantastic life so far; I'm lucky. I'd like the great role that changes everything, but at the moment, what's important is being happy in myself.

It took me several years to figure out who I am and a few more to accept what I discovered. Now, I'm in the enjoyment stage of that process and it's a happy place.

My life is exactly the way it needs to be.

Your life is meant for you to understand and process, not to make anyone else happy.

But my happiness in this world - my level of peace - is never going to be dictated by acting.

People can hate on you for doing what it is that makes you happy, but ultimately, it has to belong to you. It shouldn't matter what anyone else thinks. Life is not easy. The road to happiness is not a path well trotted. You have to find your own path to enlightenment.

I'm pleased with my life, with the journey.

If you want to meet someone who can fix any situation you don't like, who can bring you happiness in spite of what other people say or believe, look in a mirror, then say this magic word: 'Hello.'

There is only one person who can ever know exactly what you want and truly make you happy - that person is you!

You have to count on living every single day in a way you believe will make you feel good about your life - so that if it were over tomorrow, you'd be content with yourself.

I have had fun being who I became, so to speak.

This life that I've led has been really well suited for me.

In the end, I want to be able to say, 'My life was what I made it.'

The most important thing in my life is to live my life and enjoy it - to do what I think is right and what I think is good.

I have come a long way and learnt a lot. I read this quote about a year ago: 'Happiness must not be pursued; it must ensue.' It's made me realise that just being married again or something like that won't make me happy; the happiness ensues from how we live our lives.

I have no regrets in my life whatsoever.

Life is about making your own happiness - and living by your own rules.

Everybody has their own rules, and so do I. I have always lived on my own terms. As far as mistakes are concerned, I've made them and acknowledged them as mistakes, not regrets. I consider my life a success. There's nothing that I would re-do. I've always done what I felt was right.

I really do feel like I know myself, and I'm so happy to be by myself and I'm so happy to be with other people; I just know myself really, really well, and I think that is an amazing thing. I think a lot of people don't know themselves that well.

I think there's something that happens at 40 where you settle into your own skin and you stop caring what people think - you realize life is a gift from God and you want to live it to the fullest.

Eventually, we reach the point where we start to realize that we are not going to find peace, contentment, happiness, strength, fearlessness - all of the things that in our heart of hearts we wish we had - outside of us.

I read and walked for miles at night along the beach, writing bad blank verse and searching endlessly for someone wonderful who would step out of the darkness and change my life. It never crossed my mind that that person could be me.

A lot of people come to L.A. looking for something. What I came here for, I realize now, is to be okay with myself.

Life is a journey and it's about growing and changing and coming to terms with who and what you are and loving who and what you are.

I have the greatest life in the world because I created it.
