I write pretty much year-round, but I definitely do more when a deadline is looming.

There are so few people that wake up every day and go do something that they dont dread... Im very lucky.

I've grown tired of traveling alone, won't you ride with me?

I've never been someone who's very prone to boredom. I don't know, boredom seems like something you should grow out of at about 15 or 16. There's so much that needs to be done.

If I could write rock & roll songs on purpose, I'd do it all the time. But most of what I write comes out slow and sad because that's most of what I listen to.

The world changes fast, and a lot of the old country folks have a hard time keeping up with it, and it makes them sad.

My wife is so very important to me that it's made my mom more important to me. It's made every woman I know more important to me.

As my life changes, it gives me new things to write about.

We must never forget that the dance is the cradle of Negro music.

I feel a strong wakeup call and need to build social connections.

To be able to do art, it was a luxury to me.

In other films and TV shows, we might say, "Well, they're just evil." In our show [Daredeval], we're trying to say, "There's bad actions, but not necessarily bad people."

No matter how predictable, banal and listless the rest of my life might be, you can guarantee that there'll always be something interesting going on with my skin.

If we do not end war - war will end us. Everybody says that, millions of people believe it, and nobody does anything.

The advantage of the incomprehensible is that it never loses its freshness.

I like working one-on-one with someone, and I think that to go to a school of acting isn’t really my thing.

Nature's bank-dividends.

We should be as careful of the books we read, as of the company we keep. The dead very often have more power than the living.
