It's better to sail with a moody good captain than a laughing bad one.

We live in this culture where there are so many things that want us to pretend that we’re not truly human. That we can be exempt from the human condition, either through intelligence or accomplishment or success or humor. Bu biologically we’re all the same. We all get sad, we all get happy, and we all die. Anyone who pretends that that’s not the case is either a sociopath or utterly delusional.

Could you look an animal in the eyes and say to it, 'My appetite is more important than your suffering'?

I've dated attractive people and I don't find a correlation between amorous enthusiasm and beauty and public figure status.

I'll look through 'Us Weekly' and I'll see a picture of Brad Pitt and Jennifer Anniston. And I'm like, 'Wow, they just... they look so good. Even if they're like just wearing jeans and a t-shirt, they still look great.'

I'm a terrible cook, so I usually eat out with friends.

By being vulnerable, either with yourself or in the presence of another person, that’s where all growth and ultimate well-being comes from.
