I have a lot of health anxiety.

You are what you love. Not what loves you.

I think of myself as a guy who tries to write screenplays and now has tried to direct one. Anything more than that is meaningless and it gets in the way of being a real human being.

I do like escapism. I like going to the movies on a Friday night and seeing something fun.

The only honest and generous thing for me to do is to give people myself. That's all I've got as an artist, so I want to do that in an unflinching way.

The passionate ones, the ones who go after what they want, may not get what they want, but they remain vital, in touch with themselves, and when they lie on their deathbeds, they have few regrets.

Everything I've written is personal - it's the only way I know how to write.

You and I share the same DNA. Is there anything more lonely than that?

Why do I fall in love with every woman I see that shows me the least bit of attention?

Clementine: This is it, Joel. It's going to be gone soon. Joel: I know. Clementine: What do we do? Joel: Enjoy it.

There are nearly thirteen million people in the world. None of those people is an extra. They're all the leads of their own stories. They have to be given their due.

A poem begins with a lump in the throat

The young man only looks to the future because he has lived little

Nobody knows what God's plan is for your life, but a whole lot of people will guess for you if you let them.

Filtering solar radiation with air pollution is a bad idea.

My walk on the moon lasted three days. My walk with God will last forever.

I deplored a system that made it more profitable not to work than to work. I wanted to help change all that.

Love can be used to drain people. Through eye contact people send a cord out to drain you long distance. Through sexual manipulation, anyone who can make you like them can drain you.

I believe in soulmates, especially growing up and seeing how much my parents loved each other. They always said that they had been married in past lives, too.

I wake up every morning singing The Star-Spangled Banner.
