Our lives are stories, and the stories we have to give to each other are the most important. No one has a story too small and all are of equal stature. We each tell them in different ways, through different mediums—and if we care about each other, we'll take the time to listen.

Every time you do a good deed you shine the light a little farther into the dark. And the thing is, when you're gone that light is going to keep shining on, pushing the shadows back.

If you don't believe that the world has a heart, then you won't hear it beating, you won't think it's alive and you won't consider what you're doing to it.

There's never an easy route to the things that matter.

I think you're all mad. But that's part and parcel of being an artistic genius, isn't it?

Everything is the way it is because we've all agreed that's the way it is.

There are people who take the heart out of you, and there are people who put it back.
