The road is not a problem. It's not any more tempting. People don't come up with giant bags of drugs or gallons of alcohol and say, 'You've got to do this.' It happens to me more at home.

It seems like the chaos of this world is accelerating, but so is the beauty in the consciousness of more and more people.

As long as a person is breathing, there is hope for them.

Sometimes, out of really horrible things come really beautiful things.

I would have to say the person with whom I am most in love is definitely my son, Everly Bear. Although I'm his dad, I'm also his friend.

I had not had any drugs for 5 years but then I relapsed again. I have also smoked nearly everything. Every day it was a battle to recover, which I fought for my son and myself.

My days are whatever I want them to be. I don't have to go worry about chasing some chemical to make me feel OK for a minute, and then make me feel worse.

Every true artist is at war with the world.

I think art is inherently nonviolent and it actually occupies your mind with creation rather than destruction.

Just the kind of girl I liked—the weirdo in the bunch.

To be 26 years old and lose your left heart ventricle was probably the most dramatic thing that's ever happened to me in my life...

So many days in their shared life. So many experiences. How had they managed to spend the previous sixteen years unlearning each other? How had all the presence summed to disappearance?

Corporate communications will become a high-tech art, just as political communication is for Obama.

In my head, I wanted to be Madonna, but the music I was writing on paper was not what you'd choreograph dancers in costumes to. It was more coffee-house stuff.

When it comes to the stage, I can't help but be inspired by people like George Clinton, Elton John and Alice Cooper.

Nothing grieves a child more than to study the wrong lesson and learn something he wasn't suppose to.

Acceptance, tolerance, bravery, compassion. These are the things my mom taught me!

Hatred darkens life; love illumines it.

The Holy Eucharist is like a divine Storehouse filled with every virtue; God has placed It in the world so that everyone one may draw from It.

Any woman whose I.Q. hovers above her body temperature must be a feminist.

The joke or the pratfall is easy for me to do.
