“Don’t get disillusioned, no don’t expect too much Cause if what you have is all you can get Just keep on trying It just ain’t happened yet.”

One night love affair, pretending we don’t care, and now we’re left with nothing.

I like the idea of helping people help people.

I remember being in Hollywood at the age of 16 and marveling at the stars. The idea of being part of it never entered my mind. It was too far-fetched.

I draw on my memories but blended with a lot of fantasy.

We were just killing time, we were young and restless, and needed to unwind. There ain’t nothing that lasts forever, forever.

Caught in the crossfire of a silent scream, where one man’s nightmare is another man’s dream.

To be a celebrity, I couldn’t think of anything more cringe-worthy.

If you love animals, don’t eat them.

I pack every minute I can with something to do.

Every time I try to write a song, when I sit down and think I’m going to write, I really want to write a song, and it never works out. It’s always when it hits me unexpectedly on a plane or right before I go to bed, something like that.

You can’t expect insights, even the big ones, to make you suddenly understand everything. But I figure: Hey it’s a step in the right direction if they leave you confused in a deeper way.

I love people who expect me to wear great, feathery costumes- and I do it. It’s like an actor getting into his costume for his part. I don’t really feel that part until I’m into whatever I’m going to wear.

What goes up must come down. But don’t expect it to come down where you can find it.

Do unto others 20% better than you would expect them to do unto you, to correct for subjective error.

Sometimes I get so immersed in my own company, if I unexpectedly run into someone I know, it’s a bit of a shock and takes me a while to adjust.

I have something that I call my Golden Rule. It goes something like this: ‘Do unto others twenty-five percent better than you expect them to do unto you.’ The twenty-five percent is for error.
