I think people that have fear that, 'Oh if I have a kid I won't be able to do this and I won't be able to do that.' It's kind of the opposite. It really gives you energy. It makes people better.

It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.

As long as a person is breathing, there is hope for them.

Sometimes, out of really horrible things come really beautiful things.

I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.

I had not had any drugs for 5 years but then I relapsed again. I have also smoked nearly everything. Every day it was a battle to recover, which I fought for my son and myself.

My days are whatever I want them to be. I don't have to go worry about chasing some chemical to make me feel OK for a minute, and then make me feel worse.

Every true artist is at war with the world.

It doesn’t matter how hard the world tries to get the sons of God, everything is turned around for their good

I think my life has everything, you know; it has comedy, has drama, has action.

The gentleman is calm and at ease. The gentleman is dignified but not proud; the small man is proud but not dignified.

If you're drunk please don't drive. If you're on shrooms please don't think Walmart's a prison for bad clothing that needs help escaping.

I had never done any theater in high school, which actually worked to my benefit. I didn't develop any bad habits.

I look at what I have as a challenge and I could list a whole bunch of different challenges. And I choose not to be daunted by any of them.

Men think if they're getting laid, everything is fine. Women think if they feel good, everything is fine. Neither turns out to be a very good indicator.

You have to be able to communicate in life and probably schools underemphasize that. If you can't talk to people or write, you're giving up your potential.
