If you manage to live long enough, most of your greatest fears become fond memories to look back on.

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.

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

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

Grace is more desirable than gold.

I wonder if this is how people always get close: They heal each other's wounds

I've worked with very few directors who've asked of me what I asked of myself.

Envy, if surrounded on all sides by the brightness of another's prosperity, like the scorpion confined within a circle of fire, will sting itself to death.

Don't be so busy making a living that you forget how to live. Work hard to be successful, but enjoy the journey.

The system of life on this planet is so astoundingly complex that it was a long time before man even realized that it was a system at all and that it wasn't something that was just there.

I'm an introvert. Introverts have a huge advantage over extroverts. We can create a mission and we can act on it.

Love is the ultimate revelation, the final sanctuary.

Writing books is fun because after I do a show for a couple hours, I'm in a bus for 22 hours. It's not hard for me to look out the window and tell a joke here and there.
