Living in Hollywood, it's easy to have someone flatter you. That doesn't help me.

People drink to numb the pain and suffering. I think it's the pain and suffering that drive you to become an artist. The art itself should be the pain, sort of exorcising every demon and making you feel like you're a person that matters.

The boy that you loved is the man that you fear.

To admit you want to have a comeback means you have to admit you weren't what you were supposed to be. You dropped below your own standard.

This is the culture you're raising your kids in. Don't be surprised if it blows up in your face.

As a kid I had buck teeth and braces and acne. I hated what I saw. I'm still not comfortable, but that's why I change and adapt the way I look.
