In truth, there are only two realities: the one for people who are in love or love each other, and the one for people who are standing outside all that.

Ethics is a dream.

You can never be wise and be in love at the same time.

We are not so sensible of the greatest Health as of the least Sickness.

The path to love is our spiritual destiny.

I'm just a guy. I get treated like I'm famous but I don't take it seriously. I take the time people take out to check me out very, very seriously.

There's nothing wrong with failing if you learn from it, and I've failed out here plenty.
