Everybody is just a stranger, but that's the danger in going my own way.

My fear is that I go up to the girl of my dreams and say 'I'm sorry, but I've got to say hello to you,' and she slides the stool back and gets up and walks away, saying, 'Not for me, Bub. I don't want anything to do with you.'

I was smart enough to know it would probably make me a salable item for the paparazzi. I knew I'd have to move to a home that had a gate. But that pearl of possibility that lives in your heart when you meet somebody you want to know more about has such a different molecular density than everything else that you have to pursue it.

Most times when you try to be all things to all people, you end up being nothing.

It’s my failure to sound like my heroes that’s allowed me to sound like myself.

I've figured out my learning curve. I can look at something and somehow know exactly how long it will take for me to learn it.

It's very liberating when you finally realize it's impossible to make everyone like you.
