Drinking is a fast-forward button; it makes you feel close to a person so quickly.

Not all who drink energy drinks are douches, but all douches drink energy drinks.

Every time someone opens up to me, it just feels like a gift they're giving me, because it's a chance to experience another human being.

There are certain relationships that just don't fit into "good" or "bad"; they transcend it.

I have no desire to drink anymore. I just don't want to feel altered.

I know for me, when I would drink, I circumvented my own self-protection and my own judgment and my own discrimination - the healthy kind of judgment and discrimination.

In terms of what we share from our lives, I tend to share everything. My instinct would be to share everything.

Once I stopped drinking and I'd be going out on dates, or hanging out with guys, I'd realize, "Oh, maybe I don't like them that much!" I think the drinking was to make these guys more tolerable.

I was not boy crazy. Really, I wasn't. But I was lonely, I guess.

Wit, like poetry, is insusceptible of being constructed upon rules founded merely in reason. Like faith, it exists independent of reason, and sometimes in hostility to it.

Ry Cooder for me is a master, a great master that has a wonderful feel for Cuban music. He's also paid tribute my talent a bit, even though I don't know half of what he knows.

Russia will occupy most of the good food lands of central Europe while we have the industrial portions. We must find some way of persuading Russia to play ball.

There’s nothing that you can sell me that can make me happy.

The purest white seems stained.

I have a holistic need to work and to have huge ties of love in my life. I can't imagine eschewing one for the other.

Actors are responsible to the people we play. I don't label or judge. I just play them as honestly and expressively and creatively as I can.

Only during the action is the idea of matter influenced.

I was fed by the music I listened to as a kid. Hip-hop fed me psychologically, spiritually, politically. I learned from that music.
