To me, when I think of New Age, I think of crystals and rainbows and platitudes.

You label somebody 'New Age,' and that's automatic mockery: 'She cannot possibly be a serious thinker.'

Martin Luther King said it was time to inject a new dimension of love into the veins of human civilization. I don't think anyone is calling Martin Luther King a New Age woo-woo.

When you've written 10 books and have six on the New York Times best-seller list - and four have been No. 1 - I think you have a right to be a member of Congress.

I think of prayer as a spiritual lifeline back to where I most want to be.

I'm not a real big text guy. I'm not really into this new age stuff. I don't twit or tweet, but I think face-to-face is a man thing.
