I think when you’re dying you start looking for important things in the corners. You can’t let anything that seems even semi-important pass, because it passes forever. Things take on meaning.

...racist thought and action says far more about the person they come from than the person they are directed at.

Adopted. Big Deal; so was Superman

Something about the joy and pain of that moment, something about the excruciating contrast, made me feel that no matter what happens now, my life has been worth it. What a ride.

You put yourself out there in the truest way you can and hope others do the same. You'll connect or you won't, but you did what you could.

I believe there was a big bang and that because of that we are all connected into infinity, and I know very little having to do with human beings that doesn't also have to do with connection.

I have made a career of creating characters who fight school authority and chomp at the bit to get out into the 'real' world and live their lives, mostly because that's the kind of teenager I was.

I'd rather be a flash than a slowly burning ember.

But the truth doesn't need to be known, or believed, to be true.

One begins to realize that one is getting old when the birthday candles weigh more than the cake.

I think dialects should be left alone. People should write in whatever dialect they feel they want to write. In the fullness of time, these dialects will sort themselves out.

I like the Beatles, of course, but that's when I grew up.

Everyone I talked to was a recording-the bank, the elevator, your office, the school, a wrong number. You used to be able to call a wrong number and get a person.

Regardless of the number of precautions that we take to save our necks, part of the attraction of going out on the water in the first place is the element of risk.

When I was in college I did a lot of stupid things and I don't want to make an excuse for that. Some of the things that people accuse me of are true, some of them aren't. There are pranks, IMs.

They're two types of people; those who are busy being about it and those who talk about it.

Silence your critics. Ignore your haters. Delete your cynics.

If I had all the money I've spent on drink — I'd spend it on drink.
