I don't need to be liked.

Failure's a natural part of life.

I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.

And may the best of you - for it will only be the best of you, and even then only in the rarest and briefest moments - succeed in framing that most basic of questions, 'how do we live?'

Nothing you do particularly matters. But I'm not sure that's a great excuse for doing it poorly.

I don't have a saviour or a royal family.

Art is not disposable. If you want it, you have to hold it and smell it and touch it and read the credits and enjoy it and put it on your wall.

Imagine how asleep or utterly unperceptive and clueless you would have to be not to see yourself as absurd for the most part.

I think 1973 was the nadir of fashion. When you watch the coverage from that era, you're struck by the astonishing ugliness of the clothes.

It's not a gift of mine, but one given to me, to be able to criticise myself and not be crushed, by myself or by others.

To find true freedom, relinquish all of your attachments.

To constantly see one’s own self as ‘Pure’, and to see other’s self as ‘pure’, is focused applied awareness of the Self, the Soul (shuddha upayog).

You want money... Okay... Now few dollars... then few... then few... and poof everything is gone. That's call failure!

Unclean life is ungodliness.

Every work of art is a trick by which the artist manipulates appearances.

I'm trying to put together quality at-bats and hit the ball hard somewhere.

Brigham Young lived to become immortal in history as an American Moses by leading his people through the wilderness into an unpromised land.

Continuing to pay people unemployment compensation is a disincentive for them to seek new work.

I am living proof that uncertainty is vastly underrated and often times a blessing in disguise.

The Bible, contrary to what people think, actually puts forth a strong case for no free will, no free will.
