I think if you don't say something it's lying by omission. I personally think it's immoral.

There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever.

I have never been in a natural place and felt that it was a waste of time. I never have. And it's a relief. If I'm walking around a desert or whatever, every second is worthwhile.

It's hard not to get depressed when you pay attention to the world and how strangely and corrupt the people in it sometimes behave.

When I have a day off, I won't spend it at a Hollywood party. I'd rather be at home with paints and a blank canvas.

You should always do the things in life that are both interesting and make you afraid.

Be kind. It's worthwhile to make an effort to learn about other people and figure out what you might have in common with them.

You don't have to make something that people call art. Living is an artistic activity, there is an art to getting through the day.

I think that every person has many, many people inside of them. We change our personality depending on who we are talking to or what situation we are in.

I think every family is dysfunctional, and some manage to control it better than others.

My job as an artist, as I see it, is to understand and in some cases to take on various ways of thinking about people and the world that are different from my own, sometimes radically different.

May you find grace to be faithful at all times to the Lord.

An American presidential campaign resembles a forced march through enemy country.

I think that every man is afraid of his wife.

The gratification of a thoughtless pleasure soon evaporates; the pleasure of a gratifying thought never ends.

Marlon [Brando] showed me that you could do the work and not have to shut yourself off from people or your family.

No trial is so large we can't overcome it together.

When we carve out a niche for ourselves in our imagined future, and decide that we won't be happy until we achieve it, we can only feel threatened and anxious over anything that stands in our way.

I am satisfied the way that I am playing. Is obvious that there is always things to improve.

Art isn't only a painting; it's anything that changes someone for the better, any nonanonymous interaction that leads to a human (not simply a commercial) conclusion.

And there are a million possibilities. Like the possibility of going separate ways. Together.
