You can close your eyes to the things you don't want to see, but you can't close your heart to the things you don't want to feel.

I was definitely never a crowd pleaser.

I realized that it was great to have a job, but it didn't have anything remotely to do with what I was striving for, so why was I doing it?

I found a girl, fell in love, she had a baby, and i fell in love again.

My children's favorite, and it's funny because they've seen it but they have a difficult time watching it because it's their dad and they make that connection, but Edward Scissorhands is by far my kids' favorite. They just connect with the character, and they see their dad feeling that isolation, that loneliness. He's a tragic character, so I think it's hard for them. They bawl.

One of the greatest things I've ever seen happen was the morning I opened the newspaper and it said that some very powerful government officials had decided to change the name of “french fries” to “freedoom fries” and “french toast” to “freedom toast”. It was impressive. I wanted to write a letter to them just to thank them, just for proving globally that they were absolute imbeciles.
