“By nature, I keep moving, man. My theory is, be the shark. You’ve just got to keep moving. You can’t stop.”

Fame is a Bleet, man.

By employing the intelligence of natural systems we can create industry, buildings, even regional plans that see nature and commerce not as mutually exclusive but mutually coexisting.

I’m one of those people you hate because of genetics. It’s the truth.

The woman is the reflection of her man

Yeah. And it was too much of what you shouldn’t be doing instead of what you should be doing. I get enraged when people start telling other people how to live their lives. It drives me mental.

Personally I like ageing. With age comes wisdom and I have said it before and I say it again, I will take wisdom over youth any day.

Any love involves loss, and that’s the risk you take. And the greater the love, the greater the loss. I certainly feel that now with the woman I’m with, and the children that I have. But whatever the course may be, this time together is extraordinary.

Do you know how you tell real love? It’s when someone else’s interest trumps your own.

When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of self. I had faith that I’m capable enough to handle any situation. There’s peace in understanding that I have only one life, here and now, and that I’m responsible.

Gay marriage is inevitable. The next generation, they get it. It is just a matter of time before it becomes a reality.

Being married means I can break wind and eat ice cream in bed.

The idea that marriage has to be for all time – that I don’t understand.

I’ve been in these tabloids for 14 years now, and at some point you just become a Zen master of it all.

I quit, and then I started again, and then I quit, and then I started again.

I always liked those moments of epiphany, when you have the next destination.

My happiest moment is the day they call wrap and I’m free. I’m not looking back.
