Gosh, I couldn't even talk right until I was about 6 years old or something like that.

I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.

I don't even get an allowance.

I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind.

I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

I lead a simple life. I feed the fish. I walk the dogs. I cook dinner. Occasionally I take a meeting.

The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

We are not the stuff that abides, but patternsthat perpetuate themselves.

Death cannot be experienced either by the dead or the living.

When value systems are embraced by a nation, when the citizens of a country are truly rich in virtues, then material wealth is a matter of time.

The way I play guitar is very, very hard and I bloody myself incredibly without the tape. And the nails are my picks.

Music is at its best when it is pleasingly melancholic.

The people I still talk to are some of the old Galaxy players all over the place. That's a bond that's pretty special.

A guest of one's time and not a member of the household.

Disputants often fare poorly when they each act greedily and deceptively.

The basic principle of spiritual life is that our problems become the very place to discover wisdom and love.

We get more dangerous as we accumulate knowledge, and that's both a sadness and something to control, try to learn to live with, make terms with.
