I'm proud to be part of a generation where reading is a 'look.'

I live in Los Angeles, I know it exists. I know you're not supposed to taste air.

That’s the big challenge of life—to chisel disappointment into wisdom so people respect you and you don’t annoy your friends with your whining.

It seems people are more willing to let other people control their minds now and recreational drug use doesn't seem to have that same renegade sense of adventure that it once did.

Art is supposed to punch you in the brain, and it's supposed to stay punched.

God doesn't seem to talk to people like he used to. Who's he talking to now? I don't know. Then I'm walking down the street in Manhattan one day, and I realize maybe it's those guys you see walking down the street talking to themselves. You know, those guys that are like, 'I can't! No, I can't!' Maybe the other side of that conversation is God going, 'You're the new leader.' 'No I can't!' They're not crazy - they're reluctant prophets.

I've become less angry and a little more humble by age and by experience and by going through the ups and downs of life.
