I think you should be serious about what you do because this is it. This is the only life you've got.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

No one wants to be pretentious about what they do or take it seriously, because that is just weird.

To be loved, I think, is the thing that gets you up in the morning.

Creating anything is hard.

Words are free, action is not.

Know your value, accept nothing but the best.

You have to make a decided effort to not get seduced by the Blues.

Value everyone you know they might be gone tomorrow

It's hard to tune heavily tuned code.

Only when we try to love God will we see our utter inability to do so. And only when we understand that inability, will we begin to be in awe of His great love toward us.

I am, of course, romanticizing; a chronic tendency of mine.

Talent? That's not talent. Talent is Liza Minnelli tap dancing and singing at the same time. What I just saw was devastation. Dying man on the cross. Salvation in B minor.
