“My mom took all of my behavior personally. Everything I did she thought it was an act of rebellion against her. But it was just me being me.”

A lot of people have problems with public confrontation, but it doesn’t worry me at all. I can handle myself. I know my martial arts.

I tend to put my foot in my mouth. I’m not good at being diplomatic. I tend to piss people off.

My favorite books, art pieces, films, and music, always have something jarring about them.

My definition of freedom is knowing who you are, and then being it. No matter what anyone else is doing. And naked parties of course.

For the first few years we paid all the bills first and divided what was left as salary. Sometimes that was $50 a week.

Right from the start, you were a thief, you stole my heart.

I’m such a control freak, and it’s very hard for me to lose my inhibitions without something chemical inside me.

I believe there’s 31 flavors to be tasted. I’m just living my life. I don’t want to be your kind of good.

I think the best day will be when we no longer talk about being gay or straight. It’s not a gay wedding, it’s just a wedding. It’s not a gay marriage, it’s just a marriage.

My parents divorced, and I didn’t have much of a daddy growing up.

I don’t try to be candy coated. I don’t try to walk on eggshells. I am what I am. Love me or hate me.

Consumerism diverts us from thinking about women’s rights, it stops us from thinking about Iraq, it stops us from thinking about what’s going on in Africa – it stops us from thinking in general.

I like feeling strong. It keeps my mental floor higher.

Record companies, I found out, can put out compilations without your permission.

I’m very involved with PETA – People for Ethical Treatment of Animals – and Greenpeace and a lot of women’s shelter and clothing giveaways.

There’s something about breaking up with someone – you just look hotter than you ever did before.

And it is certain that those who do not yield to their equals, who keep terms with their superiors, and are moderate towards their inferiors, on the whole succeed best.

Civilization means conforming to a standard of behavior that may not seem natural to us.

Change is vital to any actor. If you keep playing lead after lead, you’re really gonna dry up. Because all those vehicles wean you away from the truths of human behaviour.

You can’t change someone’s behaviour, all you can do is remind them, and hope that Allah will change their heart.

There is a time for politeness and there is a time when you are obliged to be rude.

Spiritual maturity is measured in terms of persevering faith, not perfect behavior.

The Church must stop expecting outsiders to act like insiders while insiders act like outsiders.

I guess I’m just quite observant and I pay attention to a lot of things. Human behavior really fascinates me.
