I never felt comfortable in real life very well. It's always been an awkward kind of thing for me.

If you feel you have a film that's valid, you stick your ass on the line.

First make peace inside yourself.

To allow the fear to come on you and then pass through. If you keep cutting the fear off by intervening - let's say, taking a Xanax to try to cure it - you'll never understand what fear is really for. Fear is part of a survival mechanism. The way you conquer fear is to feel it all the way, and then you'll find out that there's nothing there - it's just emotion.

In another couple of generations, we're really gonna see the effect of this single-parent raising. And I think that's the problem. That's the disconnect. That's the miscommunication.

I've made a lot of mistakes and I don't regret any of them. Sometimes that's the only way you learn.

Asking for forgiveness is just one of the most painful kind of experiences.
