When so much money is involved in these movies, someone somewhere is going to try to screw you.

I think that, often, the people who can make you happy are right there, and having them in your life would make your life better, but you can't see how to do it.

I've spent most of my life living in cities where people are obsessed with looking down on people from everywhere else. You get so used to doing it that you start to believe it's simply what everyone does. It makes for an atmosphere of unwelcome that penetrates much of our modern life. It's a shame really because a couple days in Oklahoma will open your eyes to how much better it would be if the rest of the country was filled with a few more people from Oklahoma.

Bravery is what you can do in the face of things that hurt and scare you, but you do it anyway.

Your misery is everyone else's entertainment.

It's always music first, or melody and words together, but never words first.

You want to embrace, but I can't figure out how to hold on to it.
