I love the idea that ‘a person is a person no matter how small.
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Don’t worry folks as long as the Sun is revolving around the Earth, we’ll be fine!
Flowers don’t worry about how they’re going to bloom. They just open up & turn toward the light & that makes them beautiful.
I can tell you from experience the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency.
I don’t care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter.
I don’t think human beings learn anything without desperation. Desperation is a necessary ingredient to learning anything or creating anything. Period. If you ain’t desperate at some point, you ain’t interesting.
I got a lot of support from my parents. That’s the one thing I always appreciated. They didn’t tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
I need privacy. I would think that because what I do makes a lot of people happy that I might deserve a little bit of respect in return. Instead, the papers try to drag me off my pedestal.
I practiced making faces in the mirror and it would drive my mother crazy. She used to scare me by saying that I was going to see the devil if I kept looking in the mirror. That fascinated me even more, of course.
I tend to stay up late, not because I’m partying but because it’s the only time of the day when I’m alone and don’t have to be performing.
I think everybody should get rich and famous and do everything they ever dreamed of so they can see that it’s not the answer.
I try to do something the audience might not have seen before. Like if I’m gonna kiss a girl I wanna kiss her like a girl has never been kissed. Like maybe I would kick her legs out from under her and catch her right before she hits the ground and then kiss her.
I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my garden, and I go, ‘Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.
If you aren’t in the moment, you are either looking forward to uncertainty, or back to pain and regret.
If you’ve got a talent, protect it.
It’s better to fail at what you love than fail at what you don’t.
Just because I rock doesn’t mean I’m made of stone.
Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
Like many of you, I was concerned about going out into the world and doing something bigger than myself. Until someone smarter than myself made me realize that there is nothing bigger than myself.
Maybe other people will try to limit me but I don’t limit myself.
My focus is to forget the pain of life. Forget the pain, mock the pain, reduce it. And laugh.
My report card always said, ‘Jim finishes first and then disrupts the other students.
Solitude is dangerous. It’s very addictive. It becomes a habit after you realise how peaceful and calm it is. It’s like you don’t want to deal with people anymore because they drain your energy.
Take a chance on faith. Not religion, but faith. Not hope, but faith. I don’t believe in hope. Hope is a beggar. Hope walks through the fire and faith leaps over it.
The best possible thing you can get out of a relationship is that you’re with somebody who encourages you to be the best version of yourself.
You are ready and able to do beautiful things in this world, and as you walk through those doors today, you will only have two choices: love or fear. Choose love, and don’t ever let fear turn you against your playful heart.
You can be American, Canadian, Isreali, or Iranian but no man can put a border around who you really are.
You know the trouble with real life? There’s no danger music.
Your need for acceptance can make you invisible in this world. Don’t let anything stand in the way of the light that shines through this form risk being seen in all of your glory.
Life opens up opportunities to you, and you either take them or you stay afraid of taking them.
I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.
As far as I can tell, it’s just about letting the universe know what you want and then working toward it while letting go of how it comes to pass.
I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which, was that you can fail at what you don’t want so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.
I tend to stay up late, not because I’m partying but because it’s the only time of the day when I’m alone and don’t have to be performing.
Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn’t been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that’s really worthwhile.
I really believe in the philosophy that you create your own universe. I’m just trying to create a good one for myself.
Life doesn’t happen to you. It happens for you.
One thing I hope I’ll never be is drunk with my own power. And anybody who says I am will never work in this town again.
Sometimes I think that’s the only thing that’s important really, is just letting each other know we’re here. Reminding each other that we’re part of a larger self.
I cannot be contained because I’m the container.
Sometimes it’s okay to eat your feelings.
Now fear is going to be a player in your life, but you get to decide how much.
I can tell you from experience the effect you have on others is the most valuable currency.
Everything you gain in life will rot and fall apart, and all that will be left of you is what was in your heart.
Even those who are closest to you and most in love with you, the people you love most in the world will find clarity confronting at times.
Your job is not to figure out how it’s going to happen for you, but to open the door in your head. And when the door opens in real life, just walk through it.
Oh, and why not take a chance on faith as well? Take a chance on faith, not religion, but faith.
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.
Morgan Freeman is so classy. He’s so cool. He’s so scary.
Just because I rock doesn’t mean I’m made of stone.
Listen, Pocahontas, unless you put your ear to the ground, you’ll never hear the buffalo comin’!
Ever since I started to get recognition I’ve picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.
