To me, having 500 rolls of fabric around is the most calming thing in the world. I think it's what football is to some guys.

As a teenager I went all Goth, but I wasn't mopey enough. I would pretend to be, but I'd end up making people laugh.

I've never felt like I needed to change. I've always thought, 'If you want somebody different, pick somebody else.'

There’s a greatness in not caring what people think

Hollywood wants to make women so perfect. Perfect hair. Perfect job. Perfect manners... I know some of the most beautiful women, and they are so weird. That's what makes them funny and captivating.

I watch HGTV like a maniac, and when it's bad, it's like some crazy college guy watching a football game.

I don't associate with people who blame the world for their problems. You are your problem. You are also your solution.

You just have to say, 'It’s pretty damn good. I am right here at the moment and I’m OK with it. I've got other things to think about.'

Even when someone gets to looking like she should be so proud of herself, instead she's like, 'I could be another three pounds less; I could be a little taller and have bigger lips.'

It's like I'm managing to achieve all this success in spite of my affliction ... Would you ever put that in the headline for a male star?

I could eat healthier, I could drink less. I should be learning another language and working out more, but I'm just always saying, 'Ah, I could get hit by a bus tomorrow.'

Education is the seed of thought. If the mind is fertile, it will grow better crops.

For a quite good time I thought it's impossible for I to be right with an ideology which a group of people disagree with. Later on I was assured that I was wrong about that idea.

Pets are humanizing. They remind us we have an obligation and responsibility to preserve and nurture and care for all life.

As a schoolboy, poetry seemed defined by preciousness. It was all very rarefied.

I confess that I cannot understand how we can plot, lie, cheat and commit murder abroad and remain humane, honorable, trustworthy and trusted at home.

You want to know who's now running the U.S. Army, the U.S. Navy and the Marines and calling the shots where it counts? Fundamentalist Muslims and homosexual activists.

What shocks the virtuous philosopher, delights the chameleon poet.

When you live in hysteria, people start thinking emotionally.

I was concerned about doing the right thing when I was a kid. I suppose as a child, youre a massive egomaniac, and you think that everything you do is going to affect the world.

I read two to three books a day anyway (I only sleep about two hours a night, and I read really fast).
