I'm a disorganized mess. My purse is gross: I once found a shoulder pad, string cheese, and a Christmas ornament in it!

The days, months, and years eventually reveal, like a Polaroid, a clear picture of how significant events and decisions ultimately shape our lives.

There are two types of people: The ones who give you 50 reasons it can't be done ... and the ones who just do it.

Be crazy. Be stupid. Be silly. Be weird. Be whatever. Because life is too short to be anything but happy

I love music. For me, music is morning coffee. It's mood medicine. It's pure magic. A good song is like a good meal-I just want to inhale it and then share a bite with someone else.

Tone is often the most important part of a conversation - and listening is so much more important than what you say.

There's not many things less important than the score at halftime.

I still don't have any crushes on actresses or models. It's always been one of those things with girlfriends. They say, "Who's on your list?" What do you call it, the Get Out of Jail Free card?

I'm always working. If I'm not in my studio I become quite nervous.

After all these years, I still feel like a boy when I'm on a stream

... but any fool knows that you don't need money to get enjoyment out of life.
