I find it hard to meet the right woman as people assume I'm a certain type of person - which I'm not.

It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.

As long as a person is breathing, there is hope for them.

Sometimes, out of really horrible things come really beautiful things.

I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.

I had not had any drugs for 5 years but then I relapsed again. I have also smoked nearly everything. Every day it was a battle to recover, which I fought for my son and myself.

My days are whatever I want them to be. I don't have to go worry about chasing some chemical to make me feel OK for a minute, and then make me feel worse.

I don't care what anybody says. The first tournament is not the hardest one to win. It's always the second one.

At the bottom of at least popular Marxism there has always been a kind of disgust with humanity as it is and a perfect faith in humanity as it is to be.

You can start with nothing. And out of nothing, and out of no way, a way will be made.

It's a thrill to be a fan amongst fans.

When it comes to performance art, I am more interested in the failures then the so-called successes. I have never cared for entertaining anyone.
