If being a gangster were a prerequisite to being a musician, there'd be a lot less cello music, for example.

People always want to compare their dogs to having kids. That's insulting. First of all, nobody has a dog because they were too drunk to pull out.

It's all about self-esteem now. Build the kids' self-esteem, make them feel good about themselves. If everybody grows up with high self-esteem, who's gonna dance in our strip-clubs?

I am not religious in the dogmatic sense... I neither believe nor disbelieve in anything.

People are rivers, always ready to move from one state of being into another. It is not fair, to treat people as if they are finished beings. Everyone is always becoming and unbecoming.

There never was a false god, nor was there ever really a false religion, unless you call a child a false man.

There is no growth if there is no change. There is no change if there is no loss. There is no loss if there is no pain.
