I always feel like if someone has stage fright, I really try and say, "Listen, these people want you to succeed, they want to have a good evening. They want to see something really great. They don't want to see something crappy. They don't. They want to be at something really special."

I just sort of wish people would dance differently. It reminds me of teenage sex.

The main thing that attracts me to Buddhism is probably what attracts every artist to being an artist - that it's a godlike thing. You are the ultimate authority. There is no other ultimate authority.

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.

The fewer expectations you have, the better.

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

They say that Heaven is like TV... a perfect little world, that doesn't really need you.
