There is no element of genius without some form of madness.

My dad's probably one of the kindest people in the world. When I was younger that's not how I was- I was a little spoiled brat.

When I was young I used to have this thing where I wanted to see everything I used to think 'How can I die without seeing every inch of this world?'

Portraying emotionally ill characters gives me the chance to really act.

The first kiss I had was the most disgusting thing in my life. The girl injected about a pound of saliva into my mouth, and when I walked away I had to spit it all out.

You can make history, or you will be vilified by it.

Everywhere I go, somebody is staring at me. I don't know if people are staring because they recognize me or because they think I'm a weirdo.

Raising awareness on the most pressing environmental issues of our time is more important than ever.

My career should adapt to me. Fame is like a VIP pass wherever you want to go.

I'm just starting to scratch the surface of what really makes me happy and it's taken me a while to admit that acting like a little child and being a jerk and a punk is fun.

To believe in love, to be ready to give up anything for it, to be willing to risk your life for it, is the ultimate tragedy.

You can be RELIGIOUS without being SPIRITUAL or You can be SPIRITUAL without being RELIGIOUS or Both It all depends on your Philosophy.

Suddenly I grasped what was happening- they were all trying to save me. I never thought I was worth saving.

I discovered I scream the same way whether I'm about to be devoured by a great white shark or if a piece of seaweed touches my foot.

People are influenced most by those they trust, admire and believe care for them.

Lately I've been running on faith.

We’re built to move on. Someone dies, no matter how close you are to them, you move on. That helps in a lot of ways.

But the miracle of the redemptive reality of God is that the worst and the vilest offender can never exhaust the depths of His love.

The betrothed and accepted lover has lost the wildest charms of his maiden by her acceptance. She was heaven while he pursued her, but she cannot be heaven if she stoops to one such as he!

The notion that I had become a political lightning rod was painful for me to experience.

Once someone's dead you can't make them undead.
