Feelings are not everything! There is very little absolute truth in life.

I'm a little bit antisocial and I recently discovered that I'm introverted. But the love between people makes me alive.

Artists and celebrities are citizens, and as such you have a responsibility to keep fighting for justice because there are monolithic power structures and systemic oppression out there.

Who brings out the champion in you?Those that help you be the hero of your story, keep them close.

... family and friends aren't always ready to make the journey when you are, and you just have to keep plowing along whether they have confidence in you or not. That can be very lonely.

Anybody who suggests that I run for governor is no friend of mine. It's a terrible position, and besides, it requires living in Albany, which is small-town life at its worst.

Love requires peace, love will dream; it cannot live upon the remnants of our time and our personality.

A man who fights for coin is loyal only to his purse.

If you would wed, wed. If not, take your pleasure where you find it. There's little enough of it in this world." - Oberyn

As a writer, I have always considered it my job to describe the world as I know it; to struggle toward whatever portion of the truth is available to me.
