Quote

I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.

My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.

I love stories about teachers. For some reason I can't get enough of those kind of stories. If I turn a movie on about a teacher, I love it. I love that idea of an adult influence on kids.

As far as I can tell, it's just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.

Image
I come from the philosophy of: Whatever happens to me is the greatest thing that could happen, no matter what. Sometimes in the moment I have a regret, but then I have found myself every time down the line saying to myself: I wouldn't be here if it weren't for that so called failure.

Fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much. You can spend your whole life imagining ghosts, worrying about the pathway to the future, but all it will ever be is what's happening here, the decisions in that we make in this moment, which are based in either love or fear.

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.

Image
I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy.

Our love is like a red, red rose... and I am a little thorny.

Not hope, but Faith. I don't believe in hope. Hope is a beggar.

One thing I hope I'll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.

I think we're past the time in history where you have to come out and say, I'm happy all the time! I'm a joker! I'm a crazy man! I think people understand that I can turn that switch on but that I'm also a sensitive, normal human being with feelings and I know how to express those too.

Most of the time I live with my pain. I have pain but I won't show it around. I think that's the nobility of the character. There's something noble in not spewing on people all the time about your problems. I'm the light guy, so I identified.

I have no limits! I cannot be contained because I'm the container.
