I'm pretty cerebral, so I can occasionally rationalize emotional pain away, but when I can't, that's when I start to feel the fire inside take over and somehow manage to power through.

I usually head up to the mountains or out into the desert. Somewhere nobody is. There I can dig deep and find the core that got me where I am today. It's sort of like my reset button.

I've always been drawn to stories and characters facing some sort of struggle against forces beyond our control, be it love, loss, betrayal.

Although it may seem like it, life will never give you more than you can handle. That doesn't mean it's going to be easy; in fact, quite the opposite.

Life is going to test you. But no matter how bad it may seem, we can always step up and beat it.

Have faith in yourself.

Whether you're a vampire or werewolf, love is still love. Betrayal is still betrayal.

I'm not afraid of scars, be them emotional or otherwise. I think it builds character, and if it doesn't destroy you, I truly believe it makes us stronger.

It doesn't matter what it is, it doesn't matter if you have training or a background in it. Just create something, and lend a piece of yourself to that art.

Be brave enough to create.

It's much easier to put yourself out there under the guise of a character. You get a different name, different habits, different words. When I have to just be Nathan, that's when I feel vulnerable.

Memories aren't stored in the heart or the head or even the soul, if you ask me, but in the spaces between any given two people.

The teachings of ECK define the nature of Soul. You are Soul, a particle of God sent into this world to gain spiritual experience.

Be kind to all pets and animals because they will be kind back to you.

Her body is one big refrigerator, where Art is well stored.

Ods me I marle what pleasure or felicity they have in taking their roguish tobacco. It is good for nothing but to choke a man, and fill him full of smoke and embers.

History: a collection of epitaphs.

Do one thing at a time and do that one thing as if your life depended upon it.

People will now go to films with subtitles, you know. They're not afraid of them. It's one of the upsides of text-messaging and e-mail. Maybe the only good thing to come of it.

If you're not falling, you're not training hard enough.

The goal is to be on the hook, not to let someone else do the scary parts.
