Luckily, I'm not afraid to make a fool of myself.

In life you don't regret the things you do, you regret the things you don't do.

For Sunday breakfast, I make orange and ricotta pancakes, crepes and eggs. You know men, we usually go for breakfast because it's the easiest thing to cook and then we try to make it seem fancy.

Salvatore Ferragamo have done some nice handmade suits for me.

Breakfast is my specialty. I admit it's the easiest meal to cook, but I make everything with a twist, like lemon ricotta pancakes or bacon that's baked instead of fried.

I have only met men like you in novels, men who lived their own idiosyncrasies.

I've never really made a big deal out of my birthday.

Don't use your bedroom for work, unless you're a prostitute.

I was probably 7 years old when I started playing the guitar and writing some serious songs.

I just want to throw strikes. If I can't throw strikes, I'm worthless.

When a man can look upon the simple wild-rose, and feel no pleasure, his taste has been corrupted.

I think that people always get what they deserve - whether you're around to see it or not.

all religions seem alike to me, one mass of absurdities and lies - I know that there is a God, but I know no more of him; and I believe that all those are liars who pretend to know more than I do.

Every human activity, good or bad, except mathematics, must come to an end.
