It's really important to me not to be known as Ross when I'm 60.

I had a mustache when I was 13.

I like to challenge myself. I like to learn - so I like to try new things and try to keep growing.

If there's something I want, I go for it. I just think about how I'm going to go for it.

Being generous or doing things for others actually makes me feel good so I don't do it because I hope karma will come round and get me and I'll benefit from it.

There are days when I think: what if I just checked out? What if I grew a beard and went off to live somewhere remote? I have often wondered about the freedom that would bring.

At this age - I'm 44 - I think life's too short. I want it to mean something to me, if I'm going to spend that much time doing it.

I find America falling in love with a TV show flattering and interesting, but at the same time a little sad.

I was a geek in high school.

You're only as good as the sum of your parts, and one person can't be a team.

I spend half my time just living my life, and the other half analyzing it.

Tremendous amounts of talent are lost to our society just because that talent wears a skirt.

Is there intellectual life in America? At present, the answer is no.

For me, art is always a kind of theater.

I realized I probably wouldn't make another film that cuts through commercial and creative things like 'Godfather' or 'Apocalypse.'

As you become more conscious of your body as eternity, a sense of ease, a fullness beyond description occurs.

The minute that you bring a unicorn into a story, you know that it's a fairy tale or a fable, because unicorns don't exist as animals. They exist as fantasy creatures.

A snake knows more about what is happening around than any other creature, because it has no ears to listen to gossip - only direct perception.

I have a vision, and I know I'm right.

I'm the type of person who likes to enjoy everything that I do, take advantage of every opportunity in life.
