Don't let the door hit you where the good Lord split you.

Money is not the thing that drives me. I like to develop assets to create value. No one cares how rich you are or what your ranking is in Forbes magazine.

Even before my parents died, I felt all the responsibility to my family. I don't know why. In any business, any relationship, if something goes wrong, I feel I am to blame. It's something inside me.

People that are jealous and envious of you are too freaking lazy to step up their own game.

Cats - a standing rebuke to behavioural scientists . . . least human of all creatures.

Create the space and a bigger life happens

I could wake up six in the morning, go downstairs and record. I learned how to use ProTools and everything. Whenever I felt it, I could record.

When all else fails, take a vacation.

When trouble strikes, head to the library. You will either be able to solve the problem, or simply have something to read as the world crashes down around you.

Prayer if it is real is an acknowledgment of our finitude, our need, our openness to be changed, our readiness to be surprised, yes, astonished by the "beams of love."

Screen credit is valuable only when it's given you. If you're in a position to give yourself credit, you don't need it.

Any strikeout record worth having is in a Texas pitcher's pocket. I might come join them one day.

There is only One Being who can satisfy the last aching abyss of the human heart, and that is the Lord Jesus Christ.
