We all need to demand the happiness for ourselves we desire. Fight for it. Wrestle it out of the clenched fist of the world you live in

On my own I generally have very messy hair, wear jeans and sneakers.

Being part of the natural world reminds me that innocence isn't ever lost completely; we just need to maintain our goodness to regain it.

I love playing big rooms. There's nothing like it. It's a power trip.

In the end only kindness matters.

I may not be able to pull on the smallest of holds, but those I can pull on I can pull on all day long.

Live your life with love and bravery and you shall lead a life uncommon.

I consider myself a product of Alaska. The love and the debt that I feel to my home state, you always want your hometown to be the proudest of you.

I'm becoming more and more myself with time. I guess that's what grace is. The refinement of your soul through time.

Reality is what you believe it to be. It's what you put your thought and energy into, because your hands physically manifest thought. So your world becomes what you feel and what you think.

I don't see the world unless I see it in ink.

Study to show yourself qualified for God’s use.

Nothing contributes so much to tranquilize the mind as a steady purpose-a point on which the soul may fix its intellectual eye.

I see no difference between Islam and Islamism. Islam is defined as submission to the will of Allah, as it is described in the Koran. Islamism is just Islam in its most pure form.

When a man feels the difficulty of doing, can he be other than cautious and slow in speaking?

Mobs have passions, not brains.

I write mostly as a director. That's why my screenplays are very detailed. So I get into the images I see. I like that.

Every game I played against Henri Richard, he'd come up to behind me at some point and say, 'My brother's better than your brother.'

I hung about the dangerous frontier of "guess," avoiding with infinite trouble to myself and others the broad valley of reason.

We tend to seek captivity because we are used to seeing freedom as something that has neither frontiers nor responsibilities.

I got my very last tattoo after my father died. I'm not getting anymore; otherwise I'll end up like Mike Tyson with a tattoo on my face.
