When you meet a man who is broken, pick him up and carry him. When you meet a woman who’s broken, put her all into your arms. Cause we don’t know where we come from … we don’t know where we are.

I don't take compliments so well. I always hang my head and shuffle and kind of try to immediately forget.

When love is gone, there's always justice.

I really trust audiences as having excellent taste, for the most part.

Not many people care what you do. They care about what you do as much as you care about what they do. Think about it. Just exactly that much. You are not the center of the universe.

People who were born alone are defined by feelings like "Who's gonna be with me when I die? Who will ever understand me? Will I always feel so alone? Maybe if I write a book..." and you forget that that doesn't help you so much.

It's just such a great miracle when things do work, and they work for such a wild variety of crazy reasons.
