I love thoroughness. I respect people that do a job well.

I'm a collector. I was born a collector. I came out of the womb a collector. I can trace it back to childhood - collecting used keys.

As I'm getting older, I'm moving away from calculations and measurement. I'm trying to be more open to vulnerability and mistakes.

Instead of imposing something, let it make itself.

Doing a job well is the thing. It's its own thing.

Sometimes being an artist is a real drag. It can be incredibly bureaucratic.

My collaborations have to be very positive. I will never work with a person I fight with.

I carry a knife with me so I can cut images out of cardboard boxes. I'm always cutting cardboard. Especially every Thursday, which is recycling day.

I like the authentic object, and I have no problem paying sixty dollars for a T-shirt if it fits me really well and it's really well made. I like unassuming clothes.

I like well-made clothes, and I don't mind spending a lot of money on something that looks super, super simple. I don't like knockoffs.

I don't cook for myself. I eat every meal out. I'm fed by others. I think it's a kind of social thing. I work collaboratively with others. A meal with a friend is my ultimate thing.

Her beauty is laced in her strength and interwoven through her flaws. She embodies perfection.

Never try to be the passenger of life. Be the driver and enjoy the ride.

Journalism is the protection between people and any sort of totalitarian rule. That's why my hero, admittedly a flawed one, is a journalist.

Christian said he'd call the next day, but in boy time that meant Thursday.

You know, religion itself, Eastern and Western, is divisive and quarrelsome anyway.

Life is not only knowing what you want but what you'll settle for.

Depressed people think they know themselves, but maybe they only know depression.

Hopefully, any character I play has an anchor in reality.

We are the archenemy of our own salvation, and the Shepherd must fight first of all with us - for us.

In my banjo show with the Steep Canyon Rangers, I do do comedy during that show. It'd be absurd just to stand there mute and play 25 banjo songs.
