“The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, ‘Is that a $20 million take?’ That kind of thing, and being self-critical.”

I don’t remember yesterday. I pretty much live in the moment.

If I’m not back in 5 minutes, just wait longer.

I am heaven.

Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

I’m the first to admit this whole salary thing is getting out of control. In the final analysis, it’s still about the work.

I’m making a conscious choice to see challenges as beneficial so that I can deal with them in the most productive way.

Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive.

Madness is never that far away. It’s as close as saying yes to the wrong impulse.

The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.

Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form. Risk being seen in all of your glory.

I tend to stay up late, not because I’m partying but because it’s the only time of the day when I’m alone and don’t have to be performing.

But, you know, you can’t be a star at home.

Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.

I’m very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.

As far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.

A law which attempts to say you can criticize and ridicule ideas as long as they are not religious ideas is a very peculiar law indeed.

Every opinion based on scientific criticism I welcome.

The clear problem of the outlawing of insult is that too many things can be interpreted as such. Criticism, ridicule, sarcasm, merely stating an alternative point of view to the orthodoxy, can be interpreted as insult.

I’m more critical of the films I make than anyone else.

I don’t have to hear that criticism, that idotic criticism anymore.

There is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing, and be nothing.

Criticism is easy; achievement is difficult.

When men speak ill of thee, live so as nobody may believe them.
