If your heart is broken, make art with the pieces.

I accept that today may be imperfect... I accept that I may be as well. What I don't accept is that imperfection should be the crutch I use to excuse myself from participating in joy.

Our lives will only ever always continue to be a balancing act that has less to do with pain and more to do with beauty.

We do have choice, but not without some agony.

The greatest test of a man's character is his tongue.

I just want to thank [my wife] for loving me where I was weak.

My opposition to the Vietnam War. I was the first Hollywood actor to speak out against it.
