“We spend so much time sublimatin’, thinkin’ about, ‘What am I going to have for lunch, dinner?’”

Water’s never clumsy.

We dissect failure a lot more than we dissect success.

The unsaid rule for living in a trailer park is: ‘If the door’s shut, don’t come a-knockin.’ But if it’s open and you’re walkin’ by, feel free to say, ‘Hello.’

I’ve got incredible support from my wife and family and people around me. I’ve got great people around me who handle anything on the outside, business-wise, who help free me up to create in my job.

Music is a really great creative tool for me, for different roles.

A coach, especially at a college level – much more at a college or high school level, than at a pro level – you’re more of a teacher than an actual coach.

You don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets.

The male is always the pawn in a romantic comedy. Come together, break up, go chase her, get her, roll credits. That’s what happens in all of them.

I was raised on, ‘You go get a nine-to-five job, earn your pay and work your way up.’

Sure, I can get a little bit jealous. The good part about jealousy is that it comes from passion. It’s also the dangerous part and it’s an ugly emotion that hurts.

His statement was, “We’re going to the same place, except you’re taking a taxi, and I’m driving my own car.” That’s me and Ian MacKaye’s relationship. I love him, he’s great.

That’s the way I try to live. I think it’s the only way for human beings at this point in our evolution as souls, where everyone in their lifetime is going through stuff.

It’s hard for a liberal to go on between Sean Hannity and Rush Limbaugh, because it’s like doing country music after hip-hop. I mean, just, the audience doesn’t go from one to the other.

My views about God come from my dad. Dad told me that he believed Nature, which to him included humankind, to be so beautiful, so magnificent, that there had to be something behind it all.

The quarterback must go down, and he must go down hard

I think there are all kinds of different hells. It’s not a place you go to after you die.

The greatness of the Raiders lies in their future.
