I am very anxious to please the public, particularly as it lives and lets live.

Live each day as if your life had just begun.

Correction does much, but encouragement does more.

We do not have to visit a madhouse to find disordered minds; our planet is the mental institution of the universe.

Every day we should hear at least one little song, read one good poem, see one exquisite picture, and, if possible, speak a few sensible words.

The moment one definitely commits oneself, then Providence moves too. Whatever you think you can do, or believe you can do, begin it. Action has magic, power and grace.

Magic is believing in yourself, if you can do that, you can make anything happen.

At the moment of commitment the entire universe conspires to assist you.

Courage is the commitment to begin without any guarantee of success.

If I accept you as you are, I will make you worse; however, if I treat you as though you are what you are capable of becoming, I help you become that.

There is nothing worse than aggressive stupidity.

Children can be shaped into any way one desires.

People get upset when Baghdad, the "Cradle of Civilization" is burning, or when the Buddhas in Afghanistan are falling. These are real concerns.

I think my main concern is because I worry about demagoguery. It's real. You see the people standing up there and applauding.

I hate my life. I'm at the point where I want to hear about other people's lives. it's like switching from fiction to biography.

If I weren’t getting paid or didn’t have a character like Wolverine to maintain, I would just be a tall, lean, fit guy.

So many people know me. I wish I did. I wish someone would tell me about me.

The Iraq War was the first conflict in western history in which an imperialist war was massively protested against before it had even been launched.

You have to hurry up if you want to see something, everything disappears.

I really want to get the word out that I am still relevant and have something to say.

I feel like making music because - and this has much to do with the way I was able to make this record - there's more of myself in it.
