You can't always get what you want, but if you try sometimes, you might find, you get what you need.

People are so brainwashed by the rules that they don't know what really matters.

There's no absolutes in life - only vodka.

The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

I'm very careful not to have ideas, because they're inaccurate.

You can change a person's life in an instant; put him in a movie, and you start thinking differently, you want to be in another movie. It's like an addiction almost.

Listen to the voice of the earth.

The right attitude is this: that I have my own will, yet I will the will of God.
