If I had to live my life in anticipation of what others thought of me, little would get done.

I am an employment hyena. I am happy to make a meal of what the lions leave behind.

I didn't want to work at Pizza Hut and I didn't want to join the Army. So I just decided to go out and be awesome.

What you do for yourself is one thing. What you do for others is something else entirely.

'SMiLE' is perhaps the Beach Boys' most legendary album. It was recorded in 1966 and 1967 but only saw a formal release in 2011. That's a long time to wait for what was said to be Brian Wilson's masterpiece.

Imagine a 15-year-old kid saying, 'I have two moms - it's cool.' I don't fear that at all.

I don't believe in fate or destiny. I believe in various degrees of hatred, paranoia, and abandonment. However much of that gets heaped upon you doesn't matter - it's only a matter of how much you can take and what it does to you.
