“I was in the Virgin Islands once. I met a girl. We ate lobster, drank piña coladas. At sunset, we made love like sea otters. That was a pretty good day. Why couldn’t I get that day over and over and over?”

The last thing I want is to be (in a film role) is obvious, direct and offensive.

I would jump into the middle of the street and say, “excuse me, there’s a Mercedes that’s got to get through here.” And I would push people out of the way, “get out of the way! Let him through!” Smacking their cars and stuff. Just like, “whack” and you just jump into it.

My iPhone has 2 million times the storage of the 1969 Apollo 11 computer. They went to the moon. I throw birds at pig houses

The human condition means that we can zone out and forget what the hell we’re doing.

I’ve killed myself so many times, I don’t even exist anymore.

Back then, when a movie came out and people saw you on the street, their reaction was so supercharged that it was scary. It would frighten other people. It used to really rattle me.

I think romance basically starts with respect. And new romance always starts with respect. Like the song ‘Love the One You’re With’; there is something to that. It’s not just make love to whomever you’re with, it’s just love whomever you’re with.

You have to be as light as you can be, and you don’t have to be weighted down, stuck in your emotions and stuck in your body, stuck in your head. You just want to try and elevate something.

The truth is, anybody that becomes famous is an ass for a year and a half. You’ve got to give them a year and a half, two years.

If Google doesn’t know the answer, then it’s not a question

Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can’t buy backbone. Don’t let them forget it. Thank you.

I mean, everybody would love to have their clothes torn off by a mob of girls, but being screamed at is different.

One of the things I like about acting is that, in a funny way, I come back to myself.

They are getting so much smoke blown, and their whole world gets so turned upside down, their responses become distorted. I give everybody a year or two to pull it together because, when it first happens, I know how it is.

We’re Americans! Do you know what that means? It means our forefathers were kicked out of every decent country in the world.

Those are my people, you know? The ones who are going to crash and burn.

I believe one thing: that today is yesterday and tomorrow is today and you can’t stop.

I thought a time would come when people would rout me out of Ars with sticks, when the Bishop would suspend me, and I should end my days in prison. I see, however, that I am not worthy of such a grace.

Half an hour’s meditation each day is essential, except when you are busy. Then a full hour is needed.

When we sit down day after day and keep grinding, something mysterious starts to happen… Unseen forces enlist in our cause; serendipity reinforces our purpose.

Our Creator would never have made such lovely days, and have given us the deep hearts to enjoy them, above and beyond all thought, unless we were meant to be immortal.

When you arise in the morning, think of what a precious privilege it is to be alive—to breathe, to think, to enjoy, to love—then make that day count!

The day you think you have reached your fullest potential is the day that you havn’t.

Promise yourself success at the beginning of each day, and you’ll be surprised how often things will turn out that way.
