There are certain nights you and your image just aren’t in the same bed.

Man alone is born crying, lives complaining, and dies disappointed.

Tears come from the heart and not from the brain.

In Germany, they all thought I was a bit mental, very emotional.

Nothing becomes so offensive so quickly as grief. When fresh it finds someone to console it, but when it becomes chronic, it is ridiculed, and rightly.

I have a really close relationship with Mike Bloomberg.

I love sleep; it’s my favorite.

Having a child, that’s always been my biggest fear. I want a child and I fear a child.

I have never smuggled anything in my life. Why, then, do I feel an uneasy sense of guilt on approaching a customs barrier?

Morning without you is a dwindled dawn.

I don’t feel bitterness, I don’t feel anger towards anybody. Fighting is never emotional to me.

For you to sleep well at night, the aesthetic, the quality, has to be carried all the way through.

You will always be fond of me. I represent to you all the sins you have never had the courage to commit.

There are nights when the wolves are silent and only the moon howls.

Love is not consolation. It is light.

My brain and body and nervous system, they see a plane ride, a long plane trip, as an opportunity to sleep with nothing coming in, nothing to do. I just go offline the minute I’m on the plane.

It’s impossible to live a life totally free of feelings. God created all of us to be emotional creatures, and feelings are a big part of our lives.

Depression begins with disappointment. When disappointment festers in our soul, it leads to discouragement.

People think, because we’re young, we aren’t complex, but that’s not true. We deal with life and love and broken hearts in the same way a woman a few years older might.

If your heart is a volcano, how shall you expect flowers to bloom?

It’s not always been a happy marriage. I guess I wanted a quick fix.

Science is but an image of the truth.

I listen to music that is of our time and I just get angry.

When a man bleeds inwardly, it is a dangerous thing for himself; but when he laughs inwardly, it bodes no good to other people.

Almost all of our sorrows spring out of our relations with other people.

I feel upsettingly de-natured. If Penelope Cruz were one of my nurses, I wouldn’t even notice.

Marriage must be a relation either of sympathy or of conquest.

I’ve often felt depressed; everyone feels depressed.

The problem with meditating is I generally go to sleep, and that’s because I’m doing it wrong.

The nicest thing for me is sleep, then at least I can dream.

A myth is an image in terms of which we try to make sense of the world.

There is always something ridiculous about the emotions of people whom one has ceased to love.

Anger is never without a reason, but seldom with a good one.

Creativity has got to start with humanity and when you’re a human being, you feel, you suffer. You’re gay, you’re sick, you’re nervous or whatever.

But O, how bitter a thing it is to look into happiness through another man’s eyes.

I like the way the stories of my relationships sound to music more than the way they look in print, in gossip columns or in me talking about them in interviews. I think it’s a better way of telling the stories.

I think I have the nicest fans in the world, and I quite like being surrounded by people if we’re all feeling the same emotion in the same room.

The person who grieves suffers his passion to grow upon him; he indulges it, he loves it; but this never happens in the case of actual pain, which no man ever willingly endured for any considerable time.

When Clark Gable died, I cried for 2 days straight. I couldn’t eat or sleep.

There is nothing that makes its way more directly into the soul than beauty.

If I cry, it’s because I’m very angry and I can’t do anything about it because I’ve run into a dead end. That’s when the tears would come down.

But with Christ, we have access in a one-to-one relationship, for, as in the Old Testament, it was more one of worship and awe, a vertical relationship. The New Testament, on the other hand, we look across at a Jesus who looks familiar, horizontal. The combination is what makes the Cross.

People like to hear the word ‚love.‘

Anger cannot be dishonest.

Not to expose your true feelings to an adult seems to be instinctive from the age of seven or eight onwards.

My wife used to be an anchorwoman in Arizona, so she knew John McCain, and she liked him, and I kinda liked him.

If God created us in his own image, we have more than reciprocated.

The best and most beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched – they must be felt with the heart.

I think the perfection of love is that it’s not perfect.

It could be if I fight in front of one person or one million people. It’s still the same emotions.

Farewell, fair cruelty.

A man can be happy with any woman, as long as he does not love her.

As the Father has loved me, so have I loved you.

Parting is all we know of heaven, and all we need of hell.

Just as your car runs more smoothly and requires less energy to go faster and farther when the wheels are in perfect alignment, you perform better when your thoughts, feelings, emotions, goals, and values are in balance.

You can draw inspiration from anything. If you’re a good storyteller, you can take a dirty look somebody gives you, or if a guy you used to have flirtations with starts dating a new girl, or somebody you’re casually talking to says something that makes you so mad – you can create an entire scenario around that.

Songwriting is my way of channeling my feelings and my thoughts. Not just mine, but the things I see, the people I care about. My head would explode if I didn’t get some of that stuff out.

Your feelings so are important to write down, to capture, and to remember because today you’re heartbroken, but tomorrow you’ll be in love again.

God and I have a great relationship, but we both see other people.

God is day and night, winter and summer, war and peace, surfeit and hunger.

Any experience that touches you, in any particular way, is good. It can be a horrible experience.
