Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.

As a single withered tree, if set aflame, causes a whole forest to burn, so does a rascal son destroy a whole family.

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.

The best thing is to always keep honest people around, because when you have a bunch of yes men around that know that you’re making a mistake but let you go on with it, that’s when it ruins your mind state as an artist.

My problem was my inability to spend much time at home. I thought my family was secure, so I went running around everyplace else. I guess I had more of an effect on other people’s kids than I did my own.

I always wanted to be loved.

Everyone got kind of crazy with me mentioning I was in love with a woman.

My theory is 98 percent of all human endeavor is killing time.

I was extremely lucky that I had two great wives. It sounds a bit funny to say that, but it’s absolutely true.

A man should never neglect his family for business.

If you can feel that Mother Earth is in you, and you are Mother Earth, then you are not any longer afraid to die because the earth is not dying. Like a wave appears and disappears and appears again.

In order to exist, man must rebel, but rebellion must respect the limits that it discovers in itself – limits where minds meet, and in meeting, begin to exist.

A friend is one soul abiding in two bodies.

In the usual progress of things, the necessities of a nation in every stage of its existence will be found at least equal to its resources.

I love making new friends and I respect people for a lot of different reasons.

Keep your eyes wide open before marriage, half shut afterwards.

I think, a lot of times when you meet someone, you feel like you need to appear like you’re not interested in them so that they’ll be more interested in you. But what happens when you start showing him that you actually like him? What’s he gonna do then? Play the tape forward; how do you keep a guy like that? I don’t want to sign up for that.

Adultery is the application of democracy to love.

A lot of good love can happen in ten years.

I would rather live my life as if there is a God and die to find out there isn’t, than live as if there isn’t and to die to find out that there is.

I’ve told Billy if I ever caught him cheating, I wouldn’t kill him because I love his children and they need a dad. But I would beat him up. I know where all of his sports injuries are.

The highest proof of the spirit is love. Love the eternal thing which can already on earth possess as it really is.

Knavery and flattery are blood relations.

Love alone is capable of uniting living beings in such a way as to complete and fulfill them, for it alone takes them and joins them by what is deepest in themselves.

He that displays too often his wife and his wallet is in danger of having both of them borrowed.

Any man who doesn’t love his mama can’t be no friend of mine.

Democracy is the theory that the common people know what they want, and deserve to get it good and hard.

Men and women do think differently, and frankly, we don’t understand each other. Not at all! But that’s what makes relationships so amazing.

He that overvalues himself will undervalue others, and he that undervalues others will oppress them.

Friendship is the marriage of the soul, and this marriage is liable to divorce.

Absolutely not. I have no problem with commitment. In fact, I love having someone in my life.

I feel like I’m the kind of guy that would have kids before getting married. The first thing would be kids.

There is an orderliness in the universe, there is an unalterable law governing everything and every being that exists or lives. It is no blind law; for no blind law can govern the conduct of living beings.

No one loves the man whom he fears.

My friends are my estate.

Give a little love to a child, and you get a great deal back.

When the people we love stop paying attention, trust begins to slip away and hurt starts seeping in.

Few are drawn to the person whom others avoid and neglect; people gather around those who have already attracted interest.

I spend a lot of time just, you know, with my girlfriend and my dog. And I mean, we don’t have a lot of furniture in our house, so it’s really simple. And we’re trying to build products for everyone in the world, right. And you don’t want to get isolated to do that.

Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.

My family is very good about visiting me, and other friends as well.

If someone lies, well, you had a choice to trust that person or not. I think the way my father raised me, well, he trusted everybody. And that worked for him.

Love, we say, is life; but love without hope and faith is agonizing death.

To love someone means to see him as God intended him.

Trust is the glue of life. It’s the most essential ingredient in effective communication. It’s the foundational principle that holds all relationships.

You know how big love is? Love is big. love can hold anger; love can even hold hatred.

One of the things I’ve told men over and over and over and over is if you’re being rejected by all the women that you approach, it’s not the women!

It destroys one’s nerves to be amiable every day to the same human being.

We are born, so to speak, twice over; born into existence, and born into life; born a human being, and born a man.

I think we all change each other’s paths. I don’t know which law idea that is in physics, but I don’t think any of us can live without affecting one another.

The only way to have a friend is to be one.

Because there is a law such as gravity, the universe can and will create itself from nothing.

It is very hard to not be able to engage with people in a real and honest way because they either want something from me, or they see me as something that I simply am not.

Sucking up to the biggies won’t get us anywhere.

The fickleness of the women I love is only equalled by the infernal constancy of the women who love me.

Man’s enemies are not demons, but human beings like himself.

My wife and I don’t compete. We know each other’s preferences, and we work to provide those for each other. One will take over when the other is faced with something he or she dislikes. That’s what friends do.

In nature we never see anything isolated, but everything in connection with something else which is before it, beside it, under it and over it.

Men want to make women happy.

Complaining is dangerous business. It can damage or even destroy your relationship with God, your relationships with other people, and even with your relationship with yourself.

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