I am getting to the point where the only love worth being in is the love worth singing about.

There is always the danger that we may just do the work for the sake of the work. This is where the respect and the love and the devotion come in – that we do it to God, to Christ, and that’s why we try to do it as beautifully as possible.

We all have experiences in our lives that change us, and we all learn from people, like my dad, but at the end of the day, it’s only us. And we’re only responsible to make ourselves happy.

I’ve had a few semi-toxic relationships, but it’s not what I look for when I’m seeing someone.

I take my kids to school. And if I go to work, I go to work, and they visit me on set. I come home. I have dinner with my family. I have breakfast with my family. I have a very solid, very warm home.

Follow that will and that way which experience confirms to be your own.

Love means to love that which is unlovable; or it is no virtue at all.

Education must provide the opportunities for self-fulfillment; it can at best provide a rich and challenging environment for the individual to explore, in his own way.

The world can criticize me, but l can always criticize it back.

I never thought I’d have children; I never thought I’d be in love, I never thought I’d meet the right person. Having come from a broken home – you kind of accept that certain things feel like a fairy tale, and you just don’t look for them.

I don’t have all the answers.

I still consider it a summer job, though. So, I try to maintain that summer job as long as I can. But it’s exciting to be able to have the opportunity to do things I always dreamed of as a kid.

Blessed is he who has found his work; let him ask no other blessedness.

Life loves the liver of it.

The most peaceable way for you, if you do take a thief, is, to let him show himself what he is and steal out of your company.

Beauty is eternity gazing at itself in a mirror.

The limits of the possible can only be defined by going beyond them into the impossible.

I thought I would try to be gay for a while, but I’m just more sexually attracted to women. But I’m really glad that I found a few gay friends, because it totally saved me from becoming a monk or something.

As a father and now a grandfather to three wonderful grandchildren, I know how magical the first year of a child’s life is but also how much hard work it takes. Being able to spend as much time as possible with your loved ones is absolutely vital, especially early on.

I wear a hat on stage so that people won’t be blinded by the reflection from my head. Also, if I don’t wear a hat, there’s no way that the hat can be at that level by itself on the stage.

I was willing to accept what I couldn’t change.

Children begin by loving their parents; after a time they judge them; rarely, if ever, do they forgive them.

My entire childhood was steeped in poverty. For me, poverty, in a way, was the first inspiration of my life, a commitment to do something for the poor.

The public doesn’t mind people living together without being married, providing they don’t overdo it.

I married my best friend that happens to be a girl.

I have so much in my life. I want to be of value to the world.

How people treat you is their karma; how you react is yours.

By the sole fact of his entering into ‚Thought,‘ man represents something entirely singular and absolutely unique in the field of our experience. On a single planet, there could not be more than one centre of emergence for reflexion.

There’s not some idea I’m going to create a work that’s going to change everybody’s consciousness.

When a man is wrapped up in himself, he makes a pretty small package.

Only by joy and sorrow does a person know anything about themselves and their destiny. They learn what to do and what to avoid.

I’ve arrived at the place if I’m not taking a career risk, I’m not happy. If I’m scared, then I know I’m being challenged.

I love being busy.

I think it’s my responsibility, as a person of influence… to sometimes try to do what I can.

The teacher who is indeed wise does not bid you to enter the house of his wisdom but rather leads you to the threshold of your mind.

What is a fear of living? It’s being preeminently afraid of dying. It is not doing what you came here to do, out of timidity and spinelessness. The antidote is to take full responsibility for yourself – for the time you take up and the space you occupy. If you don’t know what you’re here to do, then just do some good.

What it’s like to be me? You know, it’s good to be me. My life is good.

Man has throughout the ages been seeking something beyond himself, beyond material welfare – something we call truth or God or reality, a timeless state – something that cannot be disturbed by circumstances, by thought or by human corruption.

Everyone who wills can hear the inner voice. It is within everyone.

To become ‚unique,‘ the challenge is to fight the hardest battle which anyone can imagine until you reach your destination.

I don’t want to be alone, I want to be left alone.

Jesus never mistreated anyone just because they mistreated Him. He confronted them in a spirit of gentleness and then continued to love them.

You can’t have it all, all at once. Who – man or woman – has it all, all at once? Over my lifespan, I think I have had it all. But in different periods of time, things were rough. And if you have a caring life partner, you help the other person when that person needs it.

It is important for you to know who you are and who you may become. It is more important than what you do, even as vital as your work is and will be.

Gays are some of the nicest, kindest, most loving people in the world.

There is not enough love and goodness in the world to permit giving any of it away to imaginary beings.

College isn’t in everyone’s hearts. I am living proof, though, that school doesn’t mess up your plans. It gives you more experiences to write about.

Guarding your heart and protecting your dignity are a little bit more important than clarifying the emotions of someone who’s only texting you back three words. I’ve learned that from trying to figure out people who don’t deserve to be figured out.

Vanity is the healthiest thing in life.

It is, generally, in the season of prosperity that men discover their real temper, principles, and designs.

Whatever you are, be a good one.

Without deep reflection one knows from daily life that one exists for other people.

People like music when they’re in love, but they don’t need it as much. You need music when you’re missing someone or you’re pining for someone or you’re forgetting someone or you’re trying to process what just happened.

One of the greatest discoveries a man makes, one of his great surprises, is to find he can do what he was afraid he couldn’t do.

If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don’t, they never were.

Sometimes it seems as if there are more solutions than problems. On closer scrutiny, it turns out that many of today’s problems are a result of yesterday’s solutions.

The curse of me and my nation is that we always think things can be bettered by immediate action of some sort, any sort rather than no sort.

I wish they would only take me as I am.

What starts the process, really, are laughs and slights and snubs when you are a kid. If your anger is deep enough and strong enough, you learn that you can change those attitudes by excellence, personal gut performance.

To enjoy freedom we have to control ourselves.
