My guilty fear is that what I'm doing, probably anyone could do. And that I just got a lot of lucky breaks.

I didn't have a very starry school career, I was medium to above average, nothing special.

I have that look like I'm going to tear your head off. As a younger guy, I think I had that look even more and had a reputation for being in your face a lot, but as I've gotten older I think I've...

An idea's birth is legitimate if one has the feeling that one is catching oneself plagiarizing oneself.

Yes, at times in front of goal a fog descends. Perhaps the speed of my feet doesn't match up with that of my mind.

We need quiet time to examine our lives openly and honestly - spending quiet time alone gives your mind an opportunity to renew itself and create order.

Having a sweet, wide-eyed, awkward character is more charming and allows for more range. If you come from anger, you're going to reach a ceiling very quickly.

I don't even like to use the word relationship. I don't know what it means.

Being single, I thought would be fun, but it is terribly boring. And I am a romantic, but only when I am in love. I can't force it otherwise.

I didn't have a financial need, and I wasn't very gifted at relationships. I probably was more like what we think of boys as being: hard to pin down and wary of commitment.

One advantage of talking to yourself is that you know at least somebody's listening.

I think everyone goes through chapters in their life and there was a time when I wasn't feeling terribly positive about what I was contributing to film, or wasn't feeling as if I was going in the...

Unjust. How many times I've used that word, scolded myself with it. All I mean by it now is that I don't have the final courage to say that I refuse to preside over violations against myself, and to...

I paint self-portraits because I am so often alone, because I am the person I know best.

Most people have a harder time letting themselves love than finding someone to love them.

I meet people who are in movies, and the stuff that they write is terrible, but nobody tells them that because they're famous. So I worry that my stuff might be like that, too.

If I am what I have and if I lose what I have who then am I?

Usually when I'm out doing stuff, I'm just out in the wild, doing the wild thing. I don't really get a chance to just chill out until I come here, in my creative space.

When I was younger, I used to bite my nails so bad. I used to play sports; I played, like, every sport. I would be playing soccer, and I'd be in the middle of the field just zoned out, biting my...

People confuse ego, lust, insecurity with true love.

I'm kind of a failure. I mean, I'll be honest. I'm successful in that I'm getting to work on great stuff, but I think I'm a failure in all the personal stuff that is most important to me.

I get the feeling people respect me and that there is affection for me. That makes me happy.

Probably no one alive hasn't at one time or another brooded over the possibility of going back to an earlier ideal age in his existence and living a different kind of life.

If I had known what it would be like to have it all I might have been willing to settle for less.

I regret often that I have spoken never that I have been silent.

The worst walls are never the ones you find in your way. The worst walls are the ones you put there - you build yourself. Those are the high ones the thick ones the ones with no doors in.

Values are deeply held personal beliefs that form your own priority code for living.

"If I could undo everything," Tony said, "I would never have gone to that party. I was an idiot, Kelly, and it cost me the love of my life."

You marvel and applaud big heroes in their big heroic actions, and forget you are a hero in your humble life and have modest heroic actions to complete yourself.

No one is promised a tomorrow. She had been wrong about every man she loved or said she loved. She'd been wrong about everything. She'd entered into her life in the middle of its story. She had...
