I thank the earth and the sky everyday for the opportunities I’ve had.
I'm sorry my existence is not very noble or sublime.
It's fun to be hopelessly in love. It's dangerous, but it's fun.
I believe in love at first sight. You want that connection, and then you want some problems.
A relationship is an imaginative act, it's an act of creation. Someone said to me the other day that a relationship between a person and a kid is unconditional; but the relationship between adults, to each other, is conditional, in a sense. But that condition can be the best kind.
I'm older and older. With any experience you have, you know more about yourself.
Energy can't be created or destroyed, and energy flows. It must be in a direction, with some kind of internal, emotive, spiritual direction. It must have some effect somewhere.
I cried over beauty, I cried over pain, and the other time I cried because I felt nothing. I can't help it. I'm just a cliché of myself.
Luxury is the opportunity to experience quality, be it a place, a person or an object.
When the people you love are gone, you're alone.
I had the classic 40 meltdown, I did. It's embarrassing. It was pretty funny. But then I recovered. To me, it was like a second adolescence. Hormonally, my body was changing, my mind was changing, and so my relationship to myself and the world around me came to this assault of finiteness.
How do I confront aging? With a wonder and a terror. Yeah, I'll say that. Wonder and terror.
I'm a meathead, man. You've got smart people, and you've got dumb people. I just happen to be dumb.
Grief changes shape, but it never ends.
Sure I believe in God and the Devil, but they don't have to have pitchforks and a long white beard.
What would happen if you melted? You know, you never really hear this talked about much, but spontaneous combustion? It exists!... [people] burn from within... sometimes they'll be in a wooden chair and the chair won't burn, but there'll be nothing left of the person. Except sometimes his teeth. Or the heart. No one speaks about this, but its for real.
You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.
I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be our style. ... Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.
There's nothing wrong with being gay, so to deny it is to make a judgment.
Tattoos are interesting, but at the same time they are also a mask - you are exhibiting your past life on your body.
People were saying that David Geffen and I had gotten married and it just blew me away. Not that they thought I was gay, but that they thought I could land a guy that hot.
Falling in love and having a relationship are two different things but yeah I can imagine that you can kind of - I think it depends on one's psychological state. I think there are some people who are on the internet and can fall in love and seem to be in a certain psychological state and other people who are - who couldn't quite do that.
Kissing someone is pretty intimate, actually very intimate, and your heart always kind of skips a beat before you do that.
Violence is sometimes a very practical solution but I don't think it is the ultimate solution. Owning a gun is not OK for me. But I could argue both sides. Why shouldn't people own them? I'm not fundamentally against citizens having access to a weapon but I think it has complications. It's probably not the wisest idea. Obviously, it has consequences. Personally, I do not own a weapon.
Life and art had a nice parallel, in the sense of coming together as strangers who are separate in prison who need to work together, getting to know each other.
