I believe the angels listen, God hears us pray. And I believe in a beautiful day.

I talk to people who are musicians, and they go, Oh this is hell. And I go, Are you kidding me? You never put tar paper on a roof, did ya?

Breathing is hard. When you cry so much, it makes you realize that breathing is hard.

If you love everything you do, you will probably end up with mediocre work. I think dissatisfaction with the state of things does propel creative people forward.

Hey man, Jaws was never my scene, and i don't like Star Wars

If you call your opponent a politician, it's grounds for libel.

Never buy anything that eats while you sleep.
