“In your fear, seek only peace. In your fear, seek only love.”

I’m very shy. That’s probably one of the reasons I got so heavily into drugs.

It was fun to be clever.

You should turn around at the end of the day and say I really like that piece of work, or that piece of work sucked. Not, was that popular or wasn’t it popular?

Look up here, I’m in heaven.

It’s a compulsive need to wreck everything. You might notice there’s a pattern of stripping down and building back up again throughout my life. But I guess that’s how some of us conduct our lives.

It makes me sad when I see artists who come alive when they go onstage, because, gee, I really come alive when I’m home.

I think the only music I didn’t listen to was country and western, and that holds to this day.

I find only freedom in the realms of eccentricity.

Style is about the choices you make to create the aspects of civilization that you wish to uphold.

You can begin really looking for a relationship . . . when you can (appreciate) the whole concept of giving to someone, not just taking.

She asked for my love and I gave her a dangerous mind.

It would be positively boring if minds were in tune.

My sexual nature is irrelevant. I’m an actor, I play roles, fragments of myself.

The moment you know you know you know.

I’m not a prophet or a stone aged man, just a mortal with potential of a superman. I’m living on.

Religion is for people who fear hell, spirituality is for people who have been there.

I’ve noticed that even people who believe in fate look both ways before crossing the street.

I have learned over the years that when one’s mind is made up, this diminishes fear; knowing what must be done does away with fear.

It is the unknown we fear when we look upon death and darkness, nothing more.

People fail to get along because they fear each other; they fear each other because they don’t know each other; they don’t know each other because they have not communicated with each other.

I fear not the man who has practiced 10,000 kicks once, but I fear the man who has practiced one kick 10,000 times.

Fear is a hard thing to deal with. I feel it quite strongly. If I think something is important enough, I’ll make myself do it in spite of fear. But it can really sap the will. I hate fear, I wish I had it less.

It’s wonderful to climb the liquid mountains of the sky. Behind me and before me is God and I have no fears

Fear no more, says the heart.
