Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Patience is bitter, but its fruit is sweet.

Heroes are not known by the loftiness of their carriage; the greatest braggarts are generally the merest cowards.

Whoever blushes is already guilty; true innocence is ashamed of nothing.

I'm not afraid of wanting money at all. Money will give me more power to do things that are truer to my spirit than what I'm already doing.

The whole period has taught me that I enjoy being part of an ensemble rather than just a front man. Don't get me wrong - I enjoy that too, but I get more enjoyment out of really listening to everyone.

My feeling for reality TV isn't ironic, guilty, or apologetic. Reality TV is one of the few remaining modes of popular entertainment in which characterization is permitted as plot.
