The only way to break a bad habit was to replace it with a better habit.

There's only two people in your life you should lie to... the police and your girlfriend.

People who speak in metaphors should shampoo my crotch.

My whole career strategy has been to build a base so that I could take the roles I want to play. I'd hate to think that a shorter part might not be available because I was worried about my billing.

I'm Irish. I think about death all the time.

Beer, it's the best damn drink in the world.

With my sunglasses on, I'm Jack Nicholson. Without them, I'm fat and 60.

The minute that you're not learning I believe you're dead.

Human beings are always going to find interesting ways of making a mess of their lives. It's human nature.

I don't think many people have a very good understanding of leisure and the importance it plays in our lives.

...there is a void in my guts which can only be filled by songs.

Your life is up to you, You only be what you want to be

At every crossroads on the path that leads to the future, tradition has placed 10, 000 men to guard the past.

Poets and kings are but the clerks of Time, Tiering the same dull webs of discontent, Clipping the same sad alnage of the years.

Boots and shoes are the greatest trouble of my life.

When you write songs, you have to like them yourself first, but then you have to make everyone else like them, because you can force them to play it, but you can't force them to like it.

I didn't even know there were stars to look at to not see. If you don't know that they're there, you don't know that you're missing them.

I think you'll find, when you're married, that it isn't nearly so important for you to be interesting as it is to make your husband feel that he's interesting.

I enjoy just being around my family and my loved ones. It's just the simple things.

That shoreline where the island of knowing meets the unfathomable sea of our own being is the landscape of myth.
