I am very willing to share whatever I know or feel I know about finding some serenity in this lifetime.

There is a divine moment in our lives when we all become one. It's called procreation, and it is reborn, continually and forever.

My favorite thing is to be alone in a room with a blank paper in front of me and the time to fill it.

A stage play requires very different craft from a book, fiction or otherwise, and ditto from a screenplay.

It helps to be able to be alone. 'Cuz writing is done alone, unless you collaborate, but I don't do that. Ask my ex-wife.

I am very abnormal... But it wasnt very long ago that I wasnt so abnormal. I was very normal and headed for a lifetime of paying medical bills as proof of my normalcy.

America is terrified of the passage of time. Prozac Nation. Land of Face Lifts.

It is all about marketing; that is where the real craft comes in. The best actors do not necessarily become the biggest stars. And vice versa.

I'm a classic example of what can happen if you follow your inner voice. I was cursed with interests and some talent in many different areas. It confuses people.

Children who cling to parents or who don't want to leave home are stunted in their emotional, psychological growth.

Change is good. And in fact unavoidable.

There is something perfect to be found in the imperfect: the law keeps balance through the juxtaposition of beauty, which gains perfection through nurtured imperfection.

Oh baby, love and treasure yourself ❤ As in this life journey all you have is yourself.

Winners, I am convinced, imagine their dreams first. They want it with all their heart and expect it to come true. There is, I believe, no other way to live.

A lot of sad stories in a row - that wears on you.

I know that a mother, no matter how impoverished or uneducated, will do anything to save her babies.

Everyone has someone they looked up to. Mine was Mickey Mantle. For Alex Rodriguez to idolize me coming up, that makes me feel very good.

Of all the butterflies that chose to stay, I’m in love with the one that got away.

Respect yourself and others will follow suit. Most people will not treat you any better than you treat yourself.

There's nothing like the endorphins from being fit, and the incredible endorphin rush that goes with that. It beats drugs, drink, and almost anything else I know.
