I like understanding what's underneath, what's really motivating people. When I was younger, I wanted to be a psychiatrist, so I think it has to do with that.

I was considered the black sheep of the family, neighbours didn't want their kids playing with me.

It's simple. Eat well, exercise and get lots of sleep but make sure you indulge occasionally. At my age , I think , what the hell , and eat a Krispy Kreme doughnut !

I relax by taking my bicycle apart and putting it back together again.

I used to smoke two packs a day and I just hate being a nonsmoker.... but I will never consider myself a nonsmoker because I always find smokers the most interesting people at the table.

Somewhere along the line I made the switch and was able to look at the bright side rather than the dark sida all the time. Now I look at everything I have and think how lucky I am.

You know, the more you can meet people from different walks of life, the better it is for you. I think the more you can create situations and experiences that give you new perspective, the better.

For me, getting comfortable with being famous was hard - that whole side of it, the loss of anonymity, the loss of privacy. Giving up that part of your life and not having control of it.

I find the less you focus on your flaws, the better off you are. Be yourself and be glad of who you are.

Love humiliates you. Hatred cradles you.

People make a lot of jokes about the empty nest. Let me tell you, it is no laughing matter. It is really hard.

When you make mistakes-not IF, Fireheart, WHEN- I'll tell you all about them.

Love can conquer every hateful heart.

Love is love is love is love is love is love is love is love cannot be killed or swept aside.

Deconstruction insists not that truth is illusory but that it is institutional.

I spend so much time on the Internet...I feel like I'm a million pages into the worst book ever, and I'm never going to stop reading.

No more fiction, for now we calculate; but that we may calculate, we had to make fiction first.

I don't think there is anybody bigger or smaller than Maradona.

People are very inclined to set moral standards for others.

Everything is the director's fault - you can quote me on that. There are no excuses.

We all get outraged by things and there are things that make us angry and maybe for a while we get angry enough to actually go do something about it.
