Sometimes you can make friends, and sometimes you can take friends.

People in this world shun people for being great, for being a bright color, for standing out. But the time is now, to be OK with being the greatest you.

I think any time people behave in a way that’s truly them, then they’ll never fail. You get in trouble when you try to copy others.

To be inauthentic is to live a life devoid of meaning and purpose; it is to lose touch with one’s true self and become alienated from oneself and others.

Theater is my sanctuary, my religion, and the place I go to find my true self.

In anything I do I try to stay true to myself because I think that’s what matters most, and then the challenge is getting all these different sides of my personality to fit together in one box. It isn’t an easy task. But that’s basically what the end result represents.

I’m the most comfortable when I’m at home resting doing nothing.I feel the most myself when I’m with music.

Gonna change my way of thinking, make my self a different set of rules. Gonna put my good foot forward and stop being influenced by fools.

Conscience accompanies every act with the comment: You should act differently, although its true sense is: You could be other than you are

I can buy anything I want now. It hasn’t changed me personally. It just changed what I can do for myself and my family.

The mishandling of food and equipment with panache was always admired; to some extent, this remains true to this day

True love never has a happy ending, because there is no ending to true love.

True disputants are like true sportsmen: their whole delight is in the pursuit

Don’t let your special character and values, the secret that you know and no one else does, the truth – don’t let that get swallowed up by the great chewing complacency

Whoever undertakes to set himself up as a judge of Truth and Knowledge is shipwrecked by the laughter of the gods.

I’m obsessively opposed to the typical.
