America's a very traumatized society.

If I could sell 500 million records every time, it would be great. But I've also had the luxury experience of having it when I was a teenager, in a very kind of model version of it.

When someone has a very urgent response, I think it just means that it's triggering something in them that they may not necessarily want to think or talk about - which I see as a positive thing.

Why are you so petrified of silence, here can you handle this? Did you think about your bills, your ex, your deadlines or when you think you're gonna die? Or did you long for the next distraction.

In my life, anyway, anytime that I judge something to be rigidly right or wrong, it comes from fear.

A brave action is often followed by grief. Do not let my resistance to grief stop the brave action.

Well, as a kid I did not get Shakespeare. I just never understood it.
