There are few things more powerful than a life lived with passionate clarity.

While we would love to have no criticism, probably if we had no critique, we wouldn't be doing anything meaningful.

I think Christianity is the same as Buddhism and Hinduism - whenever a religion begins to say that these are the things you have to do to be loved by God, you have a religion.

It took me realizing that a broken heart has never actually killed anyone to find the courage to ask for what I want, in just about every situation. That was part of my own growing up.

If you're not having a good time, find something else that gives you some joy in life.

I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person - they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted. They're motivated.
