If I had to choose my best day ever, my finest hour, my wildest dream come true, mine would be you.

One thing that you cant fake is chemistry.

Shoot, man, I love everybody! I don't have time to hate.

If you can't move your brush good, just move your face.

I need to be alone for certain periods of time or I violate my own rhythm.

Sometimes we have dreams, but we just can't make them. That's normal.

Tell everyone that your mistakes are art. You can get away with a lot that way.
