“I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It’s not easier, it’s more difficult.”

I’d rather do something I love badly than to feel bad about not doing something I love.

I learned the real meaning of love. Love is absolute loyalty. People fade, looks fade, but loyalty never fades. You can depend so much on certain people, you can set your watch by them. And that’s love, even if it doesn’t seem very exciting.

Real love is when you become selfless and you are more concerned about your mate’s or children’s egos than your own. You’re now a giver instead of a taker.

In the movies, I kill guys with an axe. In real life, I can’t control a nine-year-old girl.

I have great expectations for the future, because the past was highly overrated.

When you’re scared, when you’re hanging on, when life is hurting you, then you’re going to see what you’re really made of.

With a lot of comedians, one of their major attributes is that they look comedic, with a certain hangdog or manic expression. I look like the neighborhood bully. That doesn’t elicit laughter.

I’m the Hiroshima of love.

No one will hit you harder than life itself. It doesn’t matter how hard you hit back. It’s about how much you can take, and keep fighting, how much you can suffer and keep moving forward. That’s how you win.

I watch a lot of news, and I watch musical shows because I think the music of the young people is really their news reports. They let you know how their country is going through their eyes, and about their experiences in the everyday shock of growing up.

I don’t fall into the physical manifestation of a man of letters. So I guess people assume the scripts are delivered to me under the door.

The way to be successful in Hollywood is to be as obnoxious as the next guy.

The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can’t change. After I die, I’ll probably come back as a paintbrush.

We do two things in life: We race the clock and everything is a struggle. One way or not, it’s a metaphorical battle all of the time.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Now if you know what you’re worth. Then go out and get what you’re worth.

To tell the truth is very difficult, and young people are rarely capable of it.

Your attitude towards problems, difficulties, and adversities is the most important factor in overcoming them.

A peace talk is always difficult, always complicated.

Being human is difficult. Some people make it more difficult than others. I was one of those people.

As we advance in life it becomes more and more difficult, but in fighting the difficulties the inmost strength of the heart is developed.

Intimacy is a difficult art.

Hope is important because it can make the present moment less difficult to bear. If we believe that tomorrow will be better, we can bear a hardship today.

If anybody can find someone to love them and to help them through this difficult thing that we call life, I support that in any shape or form.
