I think there are beautiful moments. These days everybody expects that fairy tale , that you're going to be together forever with somebody and I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but 10 years is enough. 10 years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It's a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in 10 years.
One of my mission statements with all of my art has been to stop the world for people. I want to stop the worrying and stop the world.
The dating process is not normal for me.
Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.
That peace that we're after, lies somewhere beyond personality, beyond the perception of others, beyond invention and disguise, even beyond effort itself. You can join the game, fight the wars, play with form all you want, but to find real peace, you have to let the armor fall.
Just because I rock doesn't mean I am made of stone.
Originality is really important.
Well this is just a fist. But when I start throwing it around I can leave one hell of a mess.
If I'm not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer.
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.
So many of us choose our path out of fear disguised as practicality.
Everybody expects the fairy tale - you're going to be together forever with somebody. I don't really subscribe to that. I'd love that to happen if that happened, but ten years is enough. Ten years is a good thing with somebody, I think. It's a nice thing. A lot of good love can happen in ten years.
I absolutely want to have a career where you make'em laugh and make'em cry. It's all theater.
Riddle me this, riddle me that. Who's afraid of the big black bat?
It's hard for anybody who's been with me not to feel starved for affection when I'm making love to my ideas. Maybe it's not meant for me to settle down and be married.
It's exhausting I think to just say really yes to everything for real, even if you do it for a day.
We had problems like all families but we had a lot of love. I was extremely loved. We always felt we had each other.
Life doesn't happen to you, it happens for you.
Movie offers are out there for me, I just don't hear them yet.
You know the trouble with real life? There's no danger music.
