I am overrun, infested with a menagerie of desires.

Sleep tries to seduce me by promising a more reasonable tomorrow.

Knowing it can always get worse, I try to be grateful for whatever good I have.

I have learned to smoke because I need something to hold onto.

All time is now, and time can do no better. Nothing can ever be more now than now, and before this nothing was.

There was a point that I stopped crying. It's not just because I didn't feel pain anymore, not because I didn't feel sorrow. It was just to keep going. I mean, it just was to survive, to live.

Vanity is a vital aid to nature: completely and absolutely necessary to life. It is one of nature's ways to bind you to the earth.

Work is the only only only remedy for life: for happiness, for interest, for stability, for security. Hard, willed work. Oh work!

The long days seduce all thought away, and we lie like the lizards in the sun, postponing our lives indefinitely.

It's not what happens to us that defines us. It's what we choose to do with what happens to us that defines us.

I am possessed by love and have no options.

Who can be worried without the light of a memory?

I'm a confident player, I know I can score. I don't think anyone can guard me consistently off the dribble. But I'm a team player.

The actual business of writing dialogue is not thought of as a craft.

But epistemology is always and inevitably personal. The point of the probe is always in the heart of the explorer: What is my answer to the question of the nature of knowing?

As a young person, I was on the road playing music, so I was getting new environments shoved in my face whether I wanted them or not.

It's like someone jammed an electric light bulb in your face, and busted it. I thought half my head was blowed off...When he knocked me down I could have stayed there for three weeks.

My whole philosophy in survival is to take down brush as soon as you get in a situation.

You are what you know, as an actor, so you gotta try to know as much as you possibly can.

Let [children] be able to do all things, and love to do only the good.

That’s the thing about change. It can be gradual. Slow and almost unnoticeable. Or it can be sudden, and you don’t even know how you could’ve been any other way.
