Everybody I'm working with now is a friend. And I would be very, very remiss to work with anybody in the future who has not shown me who they really are.

I want to be able to look back and think that as long as I was going this, I did the best that I could.

Time is never time at all. You can never ever leave without leaving a piece of youth. And our lives are forever changed. We will never be the same. The more you change, the less you feel.

If you're really going to uncover something as an artist, you're going to come into access with parts of your personality and your psyche that are really uncomfortable to face: your own ambition, your own greed, your own avarice, your own jealousies, and anything that would get in the way of the purity of your own artistic voice.

I'm not going to die glamorously. I'll probably be eating a Twinkie, take a bite, and fall over.

My view of the world is always tempered by the fact that there are people who are less fortunate than I am.

Once a pumpkin, Always a pumpkin.
