“This is the culture your raising your kids in, don’t be suprised when it blows up in your face.”

What doesn’t kill you is gonna leave a scar.

Your beautiful don’t let anyone tell you different

Paintings are seldom guilty and often framed for crimes they did not commit. Some cover holes-holes in walls, holes in lives. Some make holes-in wallets, holes in hearts in negative space.

Relationships never break cleanly. Like a valuable vase, they are smashed and then glued back together, smashed and glued, smashed and glued until the pieces just don’t fit together anymore.

I’m a confession that is waiting to be heard

Part of me is afraid to get close to people because I’m afraid that they’re going to leave.

People tend to associate anyone who looks and behaves differently with illegal or immoral activity.

I’ve said a million times that if more stupid people killed themselves over stupid songs, there would be less stupid people in the world.

I’ve always believed that a person is smart. It’s people that are stupid.

When you’re taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, what value does that put on love?

My pain’s not ashamed to repeat itself

People are too lazy and too stupid to think for themselves that we’ve got sitcoms with canned laughter that let’s you know when to laugh if you’re to stupid to know when the joke is.

When all of your wishes are granted, many of your dreams will be destroyed.

Music is the strongest form of magic.

The death of one is a tragedy, but death of a million is just a statistic.

But what’s real? You can’t find the truth, you just pick the lie you like the best.

My mother often says that she could never have done it if I had been the youngest, if she had other small children she had to cart around New York City for my auditions and go-sees (modeling auditions) and stuff.

With the amount of money I have, it’s difficult raising children the way I was raised.

Listen kid, take my advice, never hate a song that has sold half a million copies.

I wasn’t a kid growing up thinking, ‘One day I’ll get an Oscar and make a speech.’ That wasn’t on my mind.

I do want children. I study dads more. I watch what they go through. I admire my father more than I ever did and my brother and my sister.

Public schools in the late ’80s and early ’90s were a total mess… we felt that if I was going to have a good educational option in my life, I would have to go to a public school district that actually served its children.

I hope you are reading to your children, out loud. That’s much better than watching television, much better. They won’t get very much out of television except some bad thoughts.

Having a kid is great as long as his eyes are closed and he’s not moving or speaking.
