“Your belief system saturates the space around you.”

I’m not sure how to describe my style. A lot of my work is dark and looks a bit sad, which is strange because I’m such a smiley, over-the-top positive guy who wears gold shoes most days.

Men are separated by so many petty things.

My success is not measured in money. I have no financial security, I have no savings account. I measure my success by asking myself if I’m telling a story that the world needs to hear, if I am educating people.

I want to tell you what it was really like to think death is imminent, but I can’t. It’s a taste in your mouth. And an emptiness.

More Medals of Honor were given for the indiscriminate slaughter of women and children than for any battle in World War I, World War II, Korea, Vietnam, Iraq or Afghanistan.

Everest is completely out of control. It’s like crack.

Photography has the power to undo your assumptions about the world.

War is death. If we are to engage in war, then we should have to stare it straight in the face and call it by its rightful name.

I wanted to be a painter, somewhere between Abstract Expressionism and Pop.

War is the greatest failure of mankind.

Some songs are too repetitive for me to be able to fashion a humorous set of lyrics around. Some songs flat-out just don’t work creatively for me.

In a genre where most of the artists are one-hit wonders, I’ve been able to hang around longer than most “serious” acts. I pride myself in being a very talented leech.

That’s the way to live – around people who care. It may be a tough ride, but something is going to come out of it.

National Action Network, the group I founded, has affiliates or chapters in over 40 cities around the country.

It’s never really that much fun for me to do movies anyway, because you – you know, you have to get up very early in the morning and you have to go in and you spend a lot of time waiting around.

It’s so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can’t believe how insufferably boring it is.

Waiting around and doing these lines over and over and finally having to go in and loop the lines and dub them.

It hurt me a great deal. It put a lot of pressure on me because I was at a young age and the writers around here and throughout the league starting comparing me to Cobb. It put a lot of pressure on me.
