Everything happens for a reason. I believe in this at the highest level.

I don't know if there is any specific way to handle emotional pain. Loved ones, music, and self-medicating seem to help me.

I come alive at night. I'm such a night owl.

Love is giving someone the power to destroy you but trusting they won't.

We are all born, and then we die. Make sure you enjoy yourself while on this earth.

Actually, I very much dislike routine. Creating music is my chaos therapy. The writing process puts me in a good place. Recording the music is the release of however I felt in the song.

Human life doesn't seem to have much significance, and I don't know why.

As an actor, you're putting yourself out there when you perform. You're bound to experience feelings of vulnerability because of this.

Acting makes me feel vulnerable. Especially depending on the type of emotion I'm portraying in a scene.

I would say music, film, and talented people inspire me.

I have been attempting to meditate more. Golf is my state of peace, though. The tranquility of a golf course, all of the trees, the oxygen. It puts me right at ease.

When you love yourself, then you are at peace. Wants or needs cannot destroy it

If you don't have anything good to say to yourself, don't say anything at all

In any given situation you will find only what you bring with you...

Godliness is more easily feigned in words than in actions

None of us, in our culture of comfort, know how to prepare ourselves for dying, but that's what we should do every day. Every single day, we die a thousand deaths.

It was a romantic dream to be a writer. It seemed like a calling.

To be right with God has often meant to be in trouble with men.

Comedy is what I really want to do and propel.

The best way to make a steak is grilled over an open flame or pan sauteed in a cast iron skillet.
