I go to Florida sometimes for vacation. I actually really like Florida. It's a weird place, it's surreal. It's so close, but you feel like you're in another world or on an island.

Portraiture keeps me humble. It's simple and straightforward. There is nothing more interesting I can make up than the figure sitting right in front of me.

I have to remember that for the most part people will see me for what I do, not what I say I do.

I think I did a lot of really stupid stuff really quickly in my twenties and that sort of led me to want to sort of just relax a little bit. Relax a lot.

Being humble and sweet is the hardest thing you can do.

I've been painting and making things since I was little.

I know acting is not impersonating, but I'm good with impressions. I can do impressions of people I know, and people I've been, and roles that I've acted before.

I think Damien Hirst is hilarious. And I think he's a true artist. He's not hilarious first; I think he is a real artist, and I also think he's got an amazing sense of humor.

I've had a baby. I've had an abortion.

Men are allowed to age. Men are allowed to gain weight. Men are allowed to be quirky looking.

Beauty is that quality which, next to money, is generally the most attractive to the worst kinds of men; and, therefore, it is likely to entail a great deal of trouble on the possessor.

There's nineteen men livin' in my neighborhood, Eighteen of them are fools and the one ain't no doggone good.

You see, I always divide people into two groups. Those who live by what they know to be a lie, and those who live by what they believe, falsely, to be the truth.

Members of society must obey the law because they personally believe that its commands are justified.

If you can visualize it, you can actualize it.

The plastic virtues: purity, unity, and truth, keep nature in subjection.

The trick is to use the drugs once to get there, and maybe spend the next ten years trying to get back there without the drug.

A functional team must make the collective results of the group more important to each individual than individual members' goals.

I actually have a lot of couples coming & telling me that one of my songs was instrumental in strengthening their romance.
