All games contain the idea of death.

That’s what real love amounts to - letting a person be what he really is....Most people love you for who you pretend to be....To keep their love, you keep pretending - performing. You get to love your pretense...It’s true, we’re locked in an image, an act...

People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that's bullshit. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they're afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they're wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It's all in how you carry it.

The best songs just come unasked for. You don't have to think about them. Summer is a good time for songs.

There may be a time when we'll attend Weather Theaters to recall the sensation of rain.

I'll never wake up in a good mood again. I'm tired of these stinky boots

Love cannot save you from your own fate.
