The drama nerd comes out in me when I'm in a theater.

I know I wasn't as handsome as some other guys, but I was OK with that.

All over the world, young men and young women will always dream dreams.

The only true currency in this bankrupt world is what you share with someone else when you're uncool.

The ambition, the drive, the wanting to be the center of attention, the wanting to succeed... They're all inside me somewhere.

I didn't go out looking for negative characters; I went out looking for people who have a struggle and a fight to tackle. That's what interests me.

Don't let people treat you like a cigarette, they only use you when they're bored and step on you when they're done. Be like drugs, let them die for you.

I work constantly but I work at a lot of different things. You know, I run a theater company in New York, I direct plays, act in plays, in movies, so I try to keep it eclectic.

That the universe was formed by a fortuitous concourse of atoms, I will no more believe than that the accidental jumbling of the alphabet would fall into a most ingenious treatise of philosophy.

But perhaps she has given me the strength and the madness to write about the things that I once desired so long to put against the world.

One moment unstuck other stuck!

If you cannot work on the marriage or the women is a moron, staying married and cheating makes the most sense because divorce is disruptive to the family life and your bank account.

What will carry us into living freedom is not the holding of attention so much as the holding of appreciation.

Time is the enemy of freedom.

To have opinions is to sell out to youself. To have no opinions is to exist. To have every opinion is to be a poet.

Unrequited love is like hitting your head against a wall that isn't there.

The only real revolution is in the enlightenment of the mind and the improvement of character, the only real emancipation is individual, and the only real revolutionists are philosophers and saints.

Charming Alnaschar visions! it is the happy privilege of youth to construct you.
