I love life because what more is there?

My philosophy is: It's none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am, and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.

We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It's a death trap.

Life's too short to deal with other people's insecurities.

No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.

I don't take a dime of their [lobbyist] money, and when I am president, they won't find a job in my White House.

I'm certainly not thrilled with everything the Eagles did, but there are some things I'm quite proud of.

I am for who i was in the beginning but now is present and i exist in the future.

I have what I came to find in my research is a mild form of synesthesia, though I never would have labeled it as such. It's how I think about numbers and letters. They all have inherent genders.

There's such a unique humour in Wales that I just love and miss in Los Angeles.

There are very few ethnic LGBT characters on television, so I am honored to represent them. I love supporting this cause, but it’s a big responsibility, and sometimes it’s a lot of pressure on me.

I read every screenplay that was being sent to the other directors. None were being sent to me, but I was reading what others were choosing and what the best writers were writing.

Somehow I had to turn the salted peanuts in the cigar box into petits fours.
