One of my greatest fears is not being able to change, to be caught in a never-ending cycle of sameness. Growth is so important.

I know this sounds kind of crazy, but I think we're all actors.

I only hear my own voice. When you start hearing other voices, then it's time to worry.

I don't know why, but I like the saxophone.

One of my biggest fears is not being able to break out of a rut; of becoming a prisoner to my ways, unable to change course. But in my mid-thirties, I learned you can change your thinking.

These are people who haven't gone through the legal means to becoming citizens like our forefathers did. They want all the benefits but none of the responsibilities.

Love is messy. It's not something that's real clean.

The worst thing I could be accused of is that I'm a one-way dude, only out for myself. But the worst thing a woman can do is not to say anything. Especially when you're starting a relationship.

When I was twenty-two it was a lot harder to get hurt by women. It was easier for me to, you know, cheat on a girlfriend. I can't lie like that anymore.

I grew up with the white picket fence. My dad went to work nine to five, and he had a station wagon.

I'm drawn to women who live in a world different from my own. I don't believe you have to marry someone from your own backyard. James Joyce married a woman who never read any of his books.

For really there is nothing like wings for getting you into trouble. But, on the other hand, if you are in trouble, there is nothing like wings for getting you out of it.

My dad used to say, 'Just because you dress up in a coat and tie, it doesn't influence your intelligence.'

Your body is the child of the soul. you must nourish and train that child.

There is a just Latin axiom, that he who seeks a reason for everything subverts reason.

If there is no order in your relationship with your wife, with your husband, with your children, with your neighbour - whether that neighbour is near or very far away - forget about meditation.

Do what you do with another human being, but never put them out of your heart.

A dad stands tallest when he kneels to pray with his children.

Too rigid specialization is almost as bad for a historian's mind, and for his ultimate reputation, as too early an indulgence in broad generalization and synthesis.

Friendship is not a thing I have ever experienced. Not as a child, and not as I am now.
