I kept getting high to kill my shame at the fact that I kept getting high.

All my life I'd gone for women who were a little off.

My own theory is that people are just so desperate for somebody they can feel better than, in America. Now that everyone's going broke and working 17 jobs - if they have one at all - at least they can look at these guys behind bars and think, "At least I get to wear my own clothes to work."

Rumi will transform you, in ways you didn’t know you needed transforming.

If you're here for four more years or four more weeks, you're here right now. I think when you're somewhere, you ought to be there. It's not about how long you stay in a place, it's about what you do while you're there, and when you go, is that place any better for your having been there?

To me, God is like this happy bus driver.
