I don't think of myself as an artist. I'm just a guy who can write.

I'm kind of a low-key guy. The spotlight doesn't suit me. I'm more of a side dish--cole slaw or French fries or a Wham! backup singer.

No matter what they wish for, no matter how far they go, people can never be anything but themselves. That's all.

I'm not going to get involved in a debate with you. Just remember this: the gods give, and the gods take away. Even if you are not aware of having been granted what you posses, the gods remember what they gave you. They don't forget a thing. You should use the abilities you have been granted with the utmost care.

If I have left a wound inside you, it is not just your wound but mine as well.

Have you ever had that feeling—that you’d like to go to a whole different place and become a whole different self?

In the end, like so many beautiful promises in our lives, that dinner date never came to be.
