You take a number of small steps which you believe are right thinking maybe tomorrow somebody will treat this as a dangerous provocation. And then you wait. If there is no reaction you take another step: courage is only an accumulation of small steps.

My great hope is to laugh as much as I cry to get my work done and try to love somebody and have the courage to accept the love in return.

Definitely River Phoenix is somebody that I thought 'This guy is very cool.' I wanted to be like him when I was a kid.

The second we see somebody on the street or meet someone we make snap judgments about them about who they are and why we wouldn't necessarily sit with them or why we would or what's cool or not cool.

I'd love to date somebody cool fun funny.

The problem to me is violence. It's not cool to kill somebody or hurt people.

A friend of mine has a big farm in the desert and she picks up feathers and roadkill for me then makes it into clothes. I think it's cool to wear roadkill. If I died and somebody wanted to wear my teeth around their neck to VMAs I'd feel honored.

The Internet is for haters. Everyone wants to knock somebody down but it's cool.

There was a great complexity to my father. He was a devoted family man. But in the same breath he simply was not suited to an anchored life. He should have been somebody who had a backpack an old map a bit of change in his pocket and that was it - roaming the world.

As somebody who in my second marriage insisted on a prenuptial agreement I can also testify that sometimes it is an act of love to chart the exit strategy before you enter the union in order to make sure that not only you but your partner as well knows that there will be no World War III should hearts and minds for any sad reason change.

I am not trying to change the world. I am just offering my gift that God gave me and if somebody is moved by it that's beautiful.

I change during the course of a day. I wake and I'm one person and when I go to sleep I know for certain I'm somebody else.

When I'm in the car and somebody comes on the radio singing the high notes I try to sing along.

It was in San Diego and I was onstage and couldn't remember how to play the guitar properly. I was in terrible pain and my nervous system was just going wild like somebody had just run a car over me.

Eventually I did that but it took a lot of twists and turns and there were a year or two there where I was living with no money at all - no home no car no nothing. I was living in somebody's garage in Los Angeles at that point - for a year.

A gun can be dangerous. But a gun can protect you you can hunt for food with it - you know the tool itself is a tool. The intention of the party using the tool is a part of the process right? You know: the knife cuts the steak stabs the person saves somebody from danger cuts somebody out of a car.

Consider the perverse effect cap and trade has on altruistic actions. Say you decide to buy a small high-efficiency car. That reduces your emissions but not your country's. Instead it allows somebody else to buy a bigger S.U.V. - because the total emissions are set by the cap.

I think fear is what keeps us from going over the edge. I mean as a race car driver I don't think what makes a good race car driver is a fearless person. I think it's somebody that is comfortable being behind the wheel of something that's somewhat out of control.

One morning about four o'clock I was driving my car just about as fast as I could. I thought Why am I out this time of night? I was miserable and it came to me: I'm falling in love with somebody I have no right to fall in love with.

You can never get to a place of comfort in this business. As soon as you hit that little cushy spot somebody's gonna kick you out. So I have a constant need to do it better.

I'd still like to see 'Survivor' minus the planned show-biz parts. That would be the purest form of show business - I want to see someone so hungry that they eat somebody else's foot.

Somebody has to tell the E.P.A. that we don't need you monkeying around and fiddling around and getting in our business with every kind of regulation you can dream up. You're doing nothing more than killing jobs. It's a cemetery for jobs at the E.P.A.

I loved photography and everybody said it was a crazy thing to do because in those days nobody made it into the film business. I mean unless you were related to somebody there was no way in.

I think any man in business would be foolish to fool around with his secretary. If it's somebody else's secretary fine.
