Reservoir Dogs is a small film, and part of its charm was that it was a small film. I'd probably make it for $3 million now so I'd have more breathing room.

And I will strike down upon thee with great vengeance and furious anger those who attempt to poison and destroy my brothers. And you will know my name is the Lord when I lay my fingers upon thee!

When people ask me if I went to film school I tell them, 'no, I went to films.'

My plan is to have a theatre in some small town or something and I'll be manager. Ill be the crazy old movie guy.

Just because I was at an anti-police brutality protest, doesn't mean I'm anti-police. We want justice, but stop shooting unarmed people.

Don't write what you think people want to read. Find your voice and write about what's in your heart.

In real life there are no bad guys. Everybody just has their own perspective.

Hamburgers! The corner-stone of any nutritious breakfast.

I was 8, 569 miles away, 37 butt-numbing hours of travel across seven time zones in the last two days, or was it three? Amelia Earhart, eat your heart out.

Name one hero who was happy.

Funeral: a pageant whereby we attest our respect for the dead by enriching the undertaker, and strengthen our grief by an expenditure that deepens our groans and doubles our tears.

But think of the last guy. For one minute, think of the last guy. Nobodys got it worse than that guy. Nobody in the whole world.

The #1 problem most patients face is the inability to love themselves

Seeking can become stressful when you apply the same laws that you apply in the material world - hard work, exacting plans, driving ambition, and attachment to outcome.

The hardest thing for me is the sense of impermanence. All passes; nothing returns.

Inherited hatred (i.e. hatred your parents schooled you in) is not only stupid, it is destructive - why make your only driving force hate? Seems really f***ing dumb to me.

Restless sunflower; cease to move.
