“To have great poets, there must be great audiences.”

Whatever satisfies the soul is truth.

Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.

I am as bad as the worst, but, thank God, I am as good as the best.

A man can be a hero in any profession.

Each of us inevitable; Each of us limitless-each of us with his or her right upon the earth.

Re-examine all that you have been told, dismiss that which insults your soul.

I dream in my dreams all the dreams of the other dreamers. And I become the other dreamers.

Those who love each other shall become invincible.

I am the man, I suffered, I was there.

Every moment of light and dark is a miracle.

Be not ashamed women, You are the gates of the body, and you are the gates of the soul.

I and this mystery, here we stand.

The gift is to the giver, and comes back most to him – it cannot fail.

These are the days that must happen to you.

The road to wisdom is paved with excess. The mark of a true writer is their ability to mystify the familiar and familiarize the strange.

I give you my hand, I give you my love more precious than money, I give you myself before preaching or law; Will you give me yourself?

I would like to get rid of the homophobes, sexists, and racists in our audience. I know they’re out there and it really bothers me.

Writing a description for this thing for general audiences is bloody hard. There’s nothing to relate it to.

I would love to have an ocean of love right now. That said, the number-one rule of acting is, ‘Do not seek approval from the audience.’ People don’t realize that. You can’t do stuff to get applause. You have to live in the truth.

I don’t seek validation outside, not even with the audience. Today they like me, but tomorrow they may hate me. I don’t want to be anybody’s role model.

I’ve never been one to sit back and go, ‘I’d better do what the audience wants me to do, because I don’t want to lose them.’

I think I have an inner confidence that my tastes are pretty simple, that what I find funny finds a wide audience.

Audiences believe what you believe. It’s a matter of believing yourself. If I believe me, then you’ve got no choice. None at all.

When I play for the people, every time I play for my audience they are hypnotized, seen. These guys know the potential of the music.
