I mean, part of me would love to be a fat tenured professor of theater someday.

People fall in love with a person, not a gender or an age.

Buy my album because... it's the kind of music you can be friends with. And it's the only way that *pause* aliens won't come to Earth and destroy us. I am sure of this.

There's nothing more badass than being who you are.

Hope for everything, expect nothing.

My name's Darren. I'm a musician, part time idiot. That's a full time job actually.

My biggest fear? My biggest fear would be turning into an inanimate object.

I don't believe in guilty pleasures. If I like it, I don't feel guilty about it

Never let what is popular actually define your taste or interests.

The power of a smile goes a long way. My mom taught me that.

Chris Colfer... he's like a... playful wood-nymph.

Read as widely and as deeply as you can. You have to be a reader before you can be a writer.

No man stops caring as long as he breathes. As long as he has a mind and memory, he will care. This is what separates us from the animals. We have feelings.

I think once we started directing separately - we each have different kinds of interests now, and the kinds of movies we want to do. I wouldn't hold your breath for that one.

So now I'm left with cigarettes, and I'm trying to scrape that off my shoe and then I'll be done.

I have come to understand what being a public person means. I don't let things I can't do anything about bother me.

Learn to put your troubles in your pocket, then leave them there when you do your laundry.

Never relax, for you will not attain to the possession of true spiritual delights if first you do not learn to deny your every desire.

Let a hundred flowers bloom.

There is no salvation for us but to adopt Civilization and lift ourselves down to its level.

What is plucked will grow again, What is slain lives on, What is stolen will remain-- What is gone is gone.
