I quit flying years ago. I don't want to die with tourists.

Somewhere along the line we stopped believing we could do anything. And if we don't have our dreams, we have nothing.

I don't have a fear of flying; I have a fear of crashing.

I was the fattest baby in Clark County, Arkansas. They put me in the newspaper. It was like a prize turnip.

Getting the nomination is like gravy. Winning would be like whatever is better than gravy.

I believe in running through the rain and crashing into the person you love and having your lips bleed on each other.

I attribute all my success to ignorance. If you don't ever think about not getting where you want to be, I think it helps you out.

Marketing is the devil.

If you love somebody let them know every day.

Usually when you're playing a character, you think a lot about their backstory.

You want to know the hardest thing about being smart? What? I pretty much always know what's going to happen next; there's no suspense.

Publication is not all that it is cracked up to be. But writing is.

I'm not apologizing to anybody for anything.

...all people needed was time and then they could figure most things out of themselves.

I don't shop. I buy things that inspire me, that give me emotion.

How is the economy supposed to recover when people can't afford to fill the tank?

My mom raise me so wonderfully. She gave me self esteem and made me appreciate my flaws, as well as my strengths.

There's always hope... even when there isn't faith. And sometimes, without hope or faith, there must be charity.

It was possible at last to hear the silence to appreciate that there was a silence, deep and potent, out there beyond the pretension of the light.

You can not define being exactly on time.
