My parents are awesome, but they're pretty left-wing.

When you finally accept that it's OK not to have answers and it's OK not to be perfect, you realize that feeling confused is a normal part of what it is to be a human being.

You go through spells where you feel that maybe you're too sensitive for this world. I certainly felt that.

Crazy isn't being broken, or swallowing a dark secret. It's you or me, amplified.

I was very depressed after breaking off my engagement with Johnny ten years ago. I was embarrassingly dramatic at the time, but you have to remember I was only 19 years old.

There was a time when I was 19 when I really, really, really thought I was going crazy. I was exhausted and going through a terrible depression.

I've learned that it's OK to be flawed, that life can be messy, that some days you glide and some days you fall, but most important, that there are no secret answers out there.

You have good days and bad days, and depression's something that, you know, is always with you.

You can't pay enough money to... cure that feeling of being broken and confused.

I am not a person who can really sit around and think about regrets because with every bad experience that you have, there is weirdly something good that comes from it.

I was inspired by lots of people, certainly in acting and in writing and stuff, but I never wanted to be somebody else.

Humanity lived many years and ruled the earth, sometimes wisely, sometimes well, but mostly neither.

A poet's fantasy: Hiring a rapper to rap his rhymes.

It's called Valentine's Day, you moron. If you're going to date a human, Dankmar, you need to remember their holidays.

If you want a kinder world, then behave with kindness; if you want a peaceful world, make peace within.

It's because of this fundamental shift towards user-generated information that people will listen more to other people than to traditional resources.

Why don't sheep shrink when it rains?

We live in such constant nearness to the abyss of past time that the moment is endlessly sucked into.

Generally, traditional businesses were slow to recognize the way in which legalized gambling captured dollars from across the entire spectrum of the various consumer markets, but now they know

Whatever it takes to win.

Order in a house ought to be like the machinery in opera, whose effect produces great pleasure, but whose ends must be hid.
