I don't even know how to define myself. I'm a person who writes. It's something I enjoy, and hopefully people enjoy it as well.

I write a good amount. I've been gathering up a backlog of stuff and maybe I'll do something with it someday, but I don't want to talk about it just yet because that would jinx it.

Most of the offers I get from Hollywood are for teen comedies. My manager thinks I'm crazy for turning down all that money, but I'm very picky.

I hope I'm remembered as the king of the world, the noble man who united all the nations of the earth. But that probably won't happen.

I don't even get an allowance.

I've led a very isolated existence since I was 6 years old. It's kind of been me and my mind.

I can go to any restaurant without a reservation, but while I'm there, everyone's gonna be staring.

I'm not one of those people who needs that gratification of doing, like, 10 films a year.

I lead a simple life. I feed the fish. I walk the dogs. I cook dinner. Occasionally I take a meeting.

The funny thing is, I'm not really a big reader, not a big fan of books in the first place.

I'm doing naughty things, I'm drinking too much, I'm going to clubs. It really didn't matter to me, other than the fact that some parents wouldn't let their kids hang out with me.

There's in my mind a...turbulent moon-ridden girlor old woman, or both, dressed in opals and rags, feathersand torn taffeta, who knows strange songsbut she is not kind.

I may not be free, but I’m not about to surrender the illusion of choice.

A hanging, though, was something different. I got to thinking. We hadn’t never been to nothing just to have a good time. A hanging was special and we was all getting to go.

You will say things with a merry tongue

Water will, increasingly, be detained, stored and then recycled or infiltrated in gardens.

It can be made only when one recognizes the ground of being itself, when one recognizes directly that One is All.

For our hope in the future is cosmic, forging human history into eternity.

The most powerful political voices are those with a different way of seeing and processing the world and the sounds that emanate from it.

I would lose myself too much if I thought of myself as the audience.

Which religion gives the greatest joy to God? That which inspires human beings to practice Ahimsa and compassion to all creatures.
