Shoving feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.

I think happiness is overrated. Satisfied, at peace-those would be more realistic goals.

You must lose everything in order to gain anything.

In Missouri, where I come from, we don't talk about what we do - we just do it. If we talk about it, it's seen as bragging.

I embrace the messiness of life. I find it so beautiful actually.

I would love to work in a Bollywood film as there is so much drama and colour in the films there.

Man, when I'm riding with the helmet on, I'm invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike... it gives you a chance to read 'em.

I'm probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don't think anyone really knows. You'll either find out or not when you get there, until then there's no point thinking about it.

The things you own end up owning you.

Do you know how you tell real love? It's when someone else's interest trumps your own.

Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.

If you are in ‘motion’ than you are in a normal [moving] state, and if you are ‘emotional’ than you are in an agitated state.

Acquaintances are numerous. Friends are few. Enemies many.

The closer you got to anything beautiful, the less beautiful it became. Allure was in the mystery, not the appearance.

Make it large', life is a canvas. You can paint it to be 'a dot' or masterpiece it to be 'the universe

He's half absolv'd Who has confess'd.

Experience isn't interesting till it begins to repeat itself-in fact till it does that it hardly is experience.

Try to be one of the people on whom nothing is lost!

I spent much of my life hiding.

People say to me, 'You're so lucky. You get to see the world.' But I don't. I go to the hotel and to the pools and back again. That's it.

I like that you can open up any one of my books anywhere and immediately be lost. I just love them so much.
