I'm talkin' about a place where the beer flows like wine, where the women instinctively flock like the salmon of Capistrano. I'm talkin' about Aspen.

I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain't desperate at some point, you ain't interesting.

If you aren't in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.

The early bird gathers no moss! The rolling stone catches the worm.

Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.

Heaven is on the other side of that feeling you get when you’re sitting on the couch and you get up and make a triple-decker sandwich. It’s on the other side of that, when you don’t make the sandwich. It’s about sacrifice... It’s about giving up the things that basically keep you from feeling. That’s what I believe, anyway. I’m always asking, "What am I going to give up next?" Because I want to feel.

Movies find me, and I kind of just allow them to find me.
