Listen, I've always been very headstrong.

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

Everything's connected, and everything has meaning if you look for it.

There was a weird, innate kind of understanding between me and Christina (Ricci). A psychic told us we were sisters in a past life.

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?

I love things that are old and beautiful and tell a story, even if it's a sad one.

There was a sense of being taken on a journey by the grandmaster of the road trip. You feel this weird angel taking you somewhere. You don't know where, but you trust him.

Because whatever I feel inside, it has a place to go. It just saves me over and over and over again.

The utmost extent of man's knowledge, is to know that he knows nothing.

Moving makes you feel all alone inside.

I've always been struck by how unsuspicious people are in general, if you tell them what you're about.

What a chimera then is man. What a novelty! What a monster... what a contradiction, what a prodigy

Is America ready for a black president? Well, I say we just had a retarded one. When did being black become a bigger deterrent than being retarded?

For years I did most of my reading on the F train between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I had long commutes, and I read tons of books on that train; I loved it.

Dancing is such a community feeling.

I've heard it said that children born to stressful times never shake the air of woe . . . .

Universe to each must be All that is, including me. Environment in turn must be All that is, excepting me.

Organized Christianity has probably done more to retard the ideals that were its founder's than any other agency in the world.
