My mother is probably the wisest person I've ever known. She's not schooled, she's not well read. But she has a philosophy of life that makes well-read people seem like morons.

When you walk through a bad neighborhood, you don't want a poodle by your side. You want a Rottweiler.

Life is too short to have anything but delusional notions about yourself.

I'm forbidden fruit. Once you go to certain households, mommy doesn't want you to see that dirty man who sticks his tongue out and spits out blood and all that stuff.

Rock is about finding who you are. You don't necessarily have to play your instrument very well at all. You can just barely get by and you can be in a rock band.

The red tongues that went licking up my heap of wood were an altogether new and strange thing to Weena.

I always thought I was an extrovert until I became a theatre major. Then I realised I just didn't like silence.

Each season I strive to design a forward-thinking and effortless collection with a very clean minimalist aesthetic.

Temperance adds zest to pleasure.

All men naturally hate each other. We have used concupiscence as best we can to make it serve the common good, but this is mere sham and a false image of charity, for essentially it is just hate.

Don't you wanna grow up to be just like me, I slap women and eat mushrooms then OD.

Spirit is matter seen in a stronger light. What else did Malebranche mean when he spoke of "seeing all things in God"? Existence is a mystery because the light of it is inexhaustible.

You cant run a football game in Tiger Stadium without 1,500-1,600 people to help.

One of finest evocations of life in Western America in recent memory... Powerful and profoundly moving.
