New York is tough on lonely people.

A father's disappointment can be a very powerful tool.

I guess that's what I was: a set of abs. And they lit the abs and shot the abs and sent the abs on their way. The photographer didn't look at my face once. I was humiliated.

I like parties, but I'm shy, and I often find myself standing around, feeling awkward.

My father was a sergeant with the Connecticut state police. My mother was a hairstylist.

I too have my own demons, and I have struggled. I've made my own mistakes, and I'm not proud of them.

I began to believe the fairy tales: You know, how we're all out there looking for our magical missing half.

I spent two weeks prancing around a studio in Queens in my underwear with nine other guys. They were long days. But what the hell, it was Calvin Klein.

I'd gone to Manhattan to become a model.

Things change. People change. Everything changes. The universe is in a flux. Energy reinventing itself constantly.

When the music and the characters are flawlessly synchronized, the opera develops an emotional force that movies and plays cannot match.

I don't like playing standards. I like to do my own cutting edge work.

Man's the bad child of the universe

How we treat the earth basically effects our social welfare and our national security.

Everything I needed to know I learned in Iowa... I know what it means to be from Iowa - what we value and what's important... I grew up here in Iowa.

I stop working at about 3 p.m. on Fridays.

Photographers are victims of paradox, tracking the impermanent to make it permanent.

If the gospel isn't good news for everybody, then it isn't good news for anybody.

I approach dancing from a different angle than those who begin dancing at 8 or 9. Those who have studied from the beginning never question anything.
