“No more excuses. I can’t blame anything on my parents. I’m responsible for my mistakes and my choices.”

I have very few friends. I have a handful of close friends, and I have my family, and I haven’t known life to be any happier.

The gods envy us. They envy us because we’re mortal, because any moment may be our last. Everything is more beautiful because we’re doomed. You will never be lovelier than you are now. We will never be here again.

I was hiding out from the celebrity thing, I was smoking way too much [marijuana].

I’m drawn to furniture design as complete architecture on a minor scale.

You can’t trap justice. It’s an idea, a belief.

Let us not seek the Republican answer or the Democratic answer, but the right answer. Let us not seek to fix the blame for the past. Let us accept our own responsibility for the future.

You can spend a lot of time placing blame on others when you’re the only one standing in your way.

The fault is in the one who blames. Spirit sees nothing to criticize.
