My friends and I had fun together, but I was more reserved, not at all the life of the party. I would just be the quiet one in the room.

There weren’t a lot of career opportunities in crazy-fast hardcore punk, so you didn’t have a lot of ambition, just the love and passion to play music with your friends.

Few friendships would survive if each one knew what his friend says of him behind his back.

Do good to your friends to keep them, to your enemies to win them.

When you have good friends you’ve been around, every time they talk, you don’t give them your full attention. You don’t look them in the eye and stop. Half the time, you’re listening, half the time, you are ignoring them.

Writing is the most fun you can have by yourself.

If we listened to our intellect, we’d never have a love affair. We’d never have a friendship. We’d never go into business, because we’d be cynical. Well, that’s nonsense. You’ve got to jump off cliffs all the time and build your wings on the way down.

There is as much difference between the counsel that a friend giveth, and that a man giveth himself, as there is between the counsel of a friend and of a flatterer. For there is no such flatterer as is a man’s self.

Acquaintances we meet, enjoy, and can easily leave behind; but friendship grows deep roots.

I never smoked. I never drank and I never took drugs. The funny thing is, nothing is more boring, people like this. For me, it’s OK. But most of my friends, at least they smoke and drink.

Only enemies speak the truth; friends and lovers lie endlessly, caught in the web of duty.

I don’t know how to work a room. It’s a real skill.

There is something in the unselfish and self-sacrificing love of a brute, which goes directly to the heart of him who has had frequent occasion to test the paltry friendship and gossamer fidelity of mere Man.

Nothing makes the earth seem so spacious as to have friends at a distance; they make the latitudes and longitudes.

True happiness arises, in the first place, from the enjoyment of one’s self, and in the next, from the friendship and conversation of a few select companions.

Just as I wanted to outdo everyone when I played, I had to outdo everyone when we were out on the town.

I never considered a difference of opinion in politics, in religion, in philosophy, as cause for withdrawing from a friend.

My belief is that we were put into this world of wonders and beauty with a special ability to appreciate them, in some cases to have the fun of taking a hand in developing them, and also in being able to help other people instead of overreaching them and, through it all, to enjoy life – that is, to be happy.

I don’t know half of you half as well as I should like; and I like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

I’m not someone who sits at home and doesn’t like to go out, doesn’t like to watch movies. I like to live my life.

I am not someone who does a lot of exercise, so I attempt to maintain some sort of rhythm, and I think the jump rope is the funnest way. It’s easy, you can do it in your room or anywhere.

If you want to know who your friends are, get yourself a jail sentence.

Friendship with ones self is all important, because without it one cannot be friends with anyone else in the world.

When I talk to kids, I’m really listening. When I do that, we have a little bit of a bigger connection than me being Kendrick Lamar and you being a student. It’s almost like we’re friends. Because a friend listens.

When the bank asks me about my assets, I include my friendship with Regis Philbin.

God is not so wary as we, else He would give us no friends, lest we forget Him! The charms of the heaven in the bush are superseded, I fear, by the heaven in the hand, occasionally.
