In my heart, I want to believe I shouldn't give up anything to become a huge pop star.

I'm a very vicious critic of myself.

'Presence of God' is really that understanding that sometimes when you step out of your own shoes and just open your ears and listen to what's going on around you, you get answers to the questions you...

I have sometimes imagined my own death and brought myself to tears.

Silence is the necessary soil for any thought to flourish.

I mean to say, this is the book and I really loathe it and I can't imagine what a nice Jewish boy like me ever, how I ever got into this dreadful trade.

Consider what a romantic expedition you are on; take notes.

I've gone through a lot of stuff in my life so far. There are stories I haven't really been able to tell.

Virtually any practical task becomes chaos within seconds of me getting near it.

The idea of wanting to do something that's completely natural and then having to repress it is something that I find fascinating.

Since my life has been wayward and impulsive, always a search for something that is not there, and then disillusionment, I believe I need all the excuses I can make.

Celebrate the things that make you individual and unique, and realize that there's no one in this world that looks like you.

In my heart I'm just a lucky waitress.

It's me that's the problem! It's me who's the issue in a relationship, but I'm working on that.

I'm very happy with the choices I've been making and the people I've been working with. I hope I can continue along this path.

The only exercise I excel at is jumping to conclusions.

There are some movies that I would like to forget, for the rest of my life. But even those movies teach me things.

Whenever a friend succeeds, a little something in me dies.

I don't often watch something I've done on TV. Usually, I'll change the channel and watch something else.

I've surprised a lot of people, including myself, with my longevity.

I'm good at many, many things, but the one thing I've never been good at is relationships.

I don't subscribe to any particular doctrine or ideology. I just think that there's kind of a good and bad, the good being life in its purest, happiest form, and the other being the darker side of...

Sometimes I feel like distance helps observation.

When you fail to tell the truth, you are kept bound to the past in ways that devastate your soul.

I was a rotten kid. My excitement came from seeing what I could get away with.

All children alarm their parents, if only because you are forever expecting to encounter yourself.

If you go up on a mountain and scream about change, you better make sure you're ready for people to come.

People say I'm selfish. There might be some truth to that.

I have a voice inside. A voice that I am forever trying to silence. A voice that calls me in when I want to be out, playing. A voice that is always sad. That is always terrified. That always wants to...

There was a verse that said if you are lukewarm rather than hot or cold, God will spit you out of his mouth on Judgment Day. And I felt like, I mean, I don't know. I'm lukewarm.
