I urge you to read the Occupy Manifesto, written by the New York City General Assembly. It is unavoidably clear. This is not directionless action. If it were, the media would have moved on.

My optimism wears heavy boots and is loud.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.

No such thing as spare time, no such thing as free time, no such thing as down time. All you got is life time. Go.

I am an optimist because I want to change things for the better and I know that blood has to be spilled and disharmony and cruelty are necessary to do that.

I have found the Iron to be my greatest friend. It never freaks out on me, never runs. Friends may come and go. But two hundred pounds is always two hundred pounds

It's sad when someone you know becomes someone you knew.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Strength is the product of struggle, you must do what others don't to achieve what others won't.

There’s one thing about Black Sabbath which should not be understated: If Black Sabbath is missing any one of its members it’s no longer Black Sabbath.

We all learn lessons in life. Some stick, some don't. I have always learned more from rejection and failure than from acceptance and success.

Make a pledge to yourself right now, to declare that you are worth your time and energy.

You possess great strength, great spirit and great soul.

How did you know you're alive, unless you'd once been dead?

I have a fun time, doing the meet and greets, the pictures and the autographs. Every show I've ever done, lends itself to that kind of thing. My convention life has legs.

It's true what they say about failure. You don't learn from success.

It's not enough for me to just hear about something or read about something, I wanna know it in my bones.

I don't like violence in movies, I'm not a kind of Tarantino fan. But sometimes it's necessary.

I've never sued anybody, though there have been one or two occasions I've wanted to strangle one or two people.

I'm delighted by how Nobody's Fool turned out. It was a rare movie.

Trying to have wisdom without application is like trying to catch the winds without raising the sails!
