So the moral of this week is: if you do something really, really stupid in front of someone you're just getting to know and they still think you're awesome, then you got yourself a friend.

In my fantasy I was always the savior. I would come to 'Peanuts' land and save everybody. Charlie Brown would fall madly in love with me. Peppermint Patty was so jealous.

I wanted to do a movie about being really good at something, yet being socially awkward and not as advanced in your personal life as you are in your creative life.

I compose my own stuff. I've been writing songs with words. I've been playing more on the keyboard because I can transpose it to sheet music on the computer.

I went to national piano competitions and did that whole circuit. Then I played professionally to support myself when I moved out to LA.

I don't know that I'm actually bipolar, but I definitely have huge mood swings, and I'm definitely passionate about the way I feel. I'm not really lukewarm one way or the other.

You'll say I'm self-destructive I constructed all this tragedy. Go tell them all it's all my fault You'll tell them I was crazy . And anyway it's over now Nothing left to say.

It occurred to me the other day that I've made out with more people on camera than I have in real life!

Maybe if we stopped trying to achieve movie standards of greatness, we'd be happy with what we have.

When a state is afraid of the journalists, it means that that state is definitely doing some secret devilish things!

One who finishes, lasts.

Forgiving is not forgetting. Forgiving is remembering without pain.

O, here's the shoe my baby wore, but, baby, where are you?

Scripture is like a pair of spectacles which dispels the darkness and gives us a clear view of God.

Nature, the ultimate pragmatist, doggedly searches for something that works. But as the cockroach demonstrates, what works best in nature does not always appeal to us.

Well, I suppose I'm interested in ways of storytelling and in stories that are about storytelling.

[If] man creates the problem, surely man can solve it.

A lesson that is never learned can never be too often taught.
