I think that anybody who's anti-selfie is really just a hater. Because, truthfully, why shouldn't people take pictures of themselves? When I'm on Instagram and I see that somebody took a picture of themselves, I'm like, 'Thank you.' I don't need to see a picture of the sky, the trees, plants. There's only one you.
If you're lonely, bored, or unhappy, remember you are mad young. There is so much time to meet new people and go to new places.
Some people say video games rot your brain, but I think they work different muscles that maybe you don't normally use.
I feel like you constantly have to prove why you deserve to continue to exist.
All I know for sure is that issues like race, like class, are always best approached with compassion and open-mindedness.
But you know what? When I die, everybody is invited to come take a selfie at my funeral. Except for my enemies. They're not invited to the funeral, period.
You can be 24 and continue to live like you're at college, or even continue to live like you're in high school. Or you can put on a shirt and tie and pretend to be an adult.
I go to great pains to find the best yogurt and granola.
Sometimes you want to dress a certain way... that doesn't always reflect your pedigree.

We live in such extreme times that I think we all have a responsibility to be aware of what's happening and talk about it.
My dad grew up in a working-class Jewish neighbourhood, and I got a scholarship from my dad's union to go to college. I went there to get an education, not as an extension of privilege.
I could Google image search 'the sky' and I would probably see beautiful images to knock my socks off. But I can't Google, you know, 'What does my friend look like today?' For you to be able to take a picture of yourself that you feel good enough about to share with the world - I think that's a great thing.
Playing 'Tetris' for 15 minutes is like meditation.
A writer once asked what I'd say if I ever met my biggest hater. I paused, thought deeply and said, "Probably 'suk a dog dik, motherfuker.'"
If I can't do that at age 33, I'll probably never be able to do it. As you enter your thirties, things get a little more squiggly, with life spreading out in different directions. All of that makes me think that now's the time to do what you really want to do and not have that same type of youthful anxiety about every step.
Tom Cruise is one of the most successful actors of all time.

Making every record is a process full of tough times.
Growing up listening to rap music, you almost feel like you should have haters. That's an important part of being a successful musician. It's a good thing, I guess.
Musicals don't get enough credit for being so surreal. It's like an alternate universe.
