“Stop talking about tomorrow. You owe it to yourself to do whatever you can to live you can to live a better life today.”

Stand up and finish what you started

I don’t want anyone to ever put himself or herself in a box of, “I lost my second chance!” Because life brings you ebbs and flows, and if you miss out on this second chance, guess what, you’re going to get another one if you decide that you’re ready to have one.

By default I am the good parent. I’ve used my own personal experience. I came from a world where I was in need and starving for the good parent, so it’s like I’m bringing my own persona issues into that. I am the parent that I always wanted to have; that’s how I look at my role.

In every artist we can perceive a man with both a message and a method. His message may be innate in him, but his method he has to acquire from others.

If you want to be right-sized in body, you’ve got to get rid of the supersize way of life.

When I came out, when I was 17 years old, it was one of those things where I realized that there was going to be so many obstacles, but being gay doesn’t mean being weak. And being gay doesn’t mean that you are less than anybody else. It’s just who you are.

I wasn’t looking. I didn’t even think I had time for a dog, and then I met this little one and he needed help. It’s been so amazing to see him transform into a happy and confident companion.

I love talking about Kennedy assassination…a great archetypal example of how totalitarian government…sorry, wrong meeting.

Well, first of all I think that we have to be careful with terms like the working class, obviously. When [Karl] Marx wrote about the working class he was writing about something much more bounded than we’re talking about.

That’s the real question for me, is getting the reader into the poem and then taking the reader somewhere, because I think of poetry as a kind of form of travel writing.

Session musicians kind of respected me because what I was talking about made sense. That all came from an education. Believe me, education does you more good. Maybe that’s the reason I’ve been around so long.

I’d like [Santa Claus] to give Wes Anderson, the director, enough money in his next budget for an aerial shot – just a little copter shot. He really wanted this one helicopter shot, and Disney wouldn’t give him the money. Just wouldn’t give him the money.
