My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job, and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

My soul is not contained within the limits of my body; my body is contained within the limitlessness of my soul.

Like most Catholic boys, I wanted to be Jesus Christ. I could never get the turn-the-other-cheek thing down, though.

I wish everyone could experience being rich and famous, so they'd see it wasn't the answer to anything.

The only thing that has ever consumed me is love from time to time. Feeling like, 'What is it? How do I get it?'

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

If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
