Anything at all is possible. Some things are unlikely. Some things will never happen. But they always could, at any time.

Sooner or later in life, we will all take our own turn being in the position we once had someone else in.

The only thing that feels worse than being stuck in a situation that makes you unhappy is realizing that you are not ready or willing to change whatever it is.

Never do anything that you can't admit doing, because if you are that ashamed of whatever it is, it's probably wrong.

I don't possess these thoughts I have --- they possess me. I don't possess these feelings I have --- They obsess me.

The world is not ready for some people when they show up, but that shouldn't stop anyone.

I'm falling apart, one part after another. Falling down on the world like snow. Half of me is already on the ground, watching from below.

There will be a time when you are forced to follow your heart away from someone you love.

Never try to do anything that is outside of who you are. A forced smile is a sign of what feels wrong in your heart, so recognize it when it happens. Living a lie will reduce you to one.

I think there were times when I was so afraid of losing you that I forgot I even had you at all.

By judging others, you make yourself easy to judge.

Hell and damnation, life is such fun with a ragged greatcoat and a Jerry gun!

What's real? What's not? That's what I do in my act, test how other people deal with reality.

If you ask me, Now, is it your best book? I would say, I don't really know. I wouldn't even want to say. And I'd even go on and say, I don't even think so.

I've never watched an entire episode of 'American Idol'. It's too mean.

Detroit... where 'mother' is half a word.

What I like is not a particular genre, it's storytelling. There's a lot of great storytelling in jazz, and in folk and in country music.

No power on earth can resist the lovers of liberty who are ready not to kill opponents, but be killed by them.

I don't know how you overcome the dearth of scientists in the government positions.

There are many things I do for amusement, but for happiness I like to gather up my memories and go for a walk in the rain.

Now you'll have to wait for hours in line for medical care instead of immediately not getting any.
