suffering breaks us until there’s nothing left but gentleness

...some nights I'd sneak out and listen to the radio in my Dad's old Chevy - children need solitude - they don't teach that in school...

...the wet brush of snowflakes was like your kisses everywhere ...

...no good writing flows from a polluted well - you can write about monsters, but you can't be one...

...I don't just wish you rain, Beloved - I wish you the beauty of storms...

...true love is an irrevocable act - you can only give your heart away once - after that, you give as much as you have left ...

...I retreat into my fictional world where everything makes sense - but even there I can't even control what people do...

...wherever there is society, there is authority and the temptation to disobedience because our individual wills refuse to submit...

...you think so logically...like a hawk soaring - I feel so chaotically...like a kite without a tail plummeting to earth...

...you fantasize about me reading my poems to you - it doesn't work that way - I write down everything later - living is not an after-thought...

... here's what I believe - sometimes God has a Plan B...

YOUR WORDS ARE MADE OF THE AIR I BREATHE.

I'm very romantic, I'm extremely romantic. I date my wife.

I just look at my own life, which is full of error as all life is. I have done plenty of things that I am not proud of.

The stakes in conflict do not change. Battle determines who will control the wealth or its equivalent.

I learn so much from watching films like that with commentary and then when you get to hear another filmmaker talk about their films it's a really great experience.

Don't be afraid to adapt new ingredients into your own techniques, and traditional ingredients into new recipes.

All good thoughts and ideas mean nothing without action

Why should I go into details, we have nothing that is not perishable except what our hearts and our intellects endows us with.

These so-called big stars are people we are supposed to be looking up to. Well they are weak and soft. Priorities have changed in football and they are being dictated to by their wives.

I've dated athletes before but it's too tough because we have the same job, we deal with the same problems and both do a very selfish sport.
