Lee's great gifts are teaching and inspirational guidance, not administration and management.

Working with John Stamos is a ton of fun. He's just the biggest sweetheart - and he's just still gorgeous as can be. Such a hottie!

When I was 18, I lived in Greenwich Village, New York, for nine months. At that time, I wanted to change the world, not through architecture, but through painting. I lived the artist's life, mingling with poets and writers, and working as a waiter. I was intrigued by the aliveness of the city.

Just like families must live within their budgets, the Federal Government must live within its means. We have passed appropriations bills that have been fiscally responsible while recognizing our national priorities.

Music takes us out of the actual and whispers to us dim secrets that startle our wonder as to who we are, and for what, whence, and whereto.

When all else is lost, the future still remains.

I'm a union guy; I've always been. I've been in SAG 35 years; my father was a garbage man, a sanitation man, for the city, a union guy.

If you make someone feel guilty about their mistake then you have not forgiven them. That guilt is itself punishment.

I walk around naked all the time, but it doesn't mean I am completely comfortable and happy with my body.

This is a good plan for life in general. If you have two choices choose the harder.

The part you don't expect when you start out is all the people who come into your life wanting a piece of you, not caring about your wellbeing. The insane schedule is very difficult. Touring looks very glamourous but it's hard and gruelling - the travelling, the meet-and-greets - it was too crazy.

I like so many different directors: Scorsese, Coppola, Cassavetes, Jarmusch, Gus van Sant, Woody Allen and the greats like Fellini, Bergman, Tarkovsky and among current filmmakers von Trier, Ang Lee, Wong Kar-wai.

If I were white, I could capture the world.

There is no such thing as a crazy dog person in New York. Are there people who are completely insane about their dogs? Hordes. But cat people may as well have whiskers and tails themselves. That's because their pets' lack of social need taps straight into our worst fears as the human inhabitants of New York.

I see myself as a performer and that applies to a Greek drama or a modern comedy.

I still fall asleep with the TV on, because I'm used to falling asleep with people yelling 'Action!' and 'Cut!'

I hate to think of the day when nobody remembers me as an actor and I can't get good tables in restaurants.

I think people relate to Skynyrd; it's a working class band. They're just songs with messages. To this day, there's never been a song written that didn't have a message.

Modeling is a lonely business... You don't speak. You don't really portray anything but an image... the business is so superfluous about dealing with the outside, it messes with your mind.

In our life there is a single color, as on an artist's palette, which provides the meaning of life and art. It is the color of love.

There's nothing wrong with being a fashion photographer, but it's a bit limited.

I've only chosen films that offered me something concrete, even if it is less than what I get to do in the South.

In my view, you can't go to the future if you haven't come from the past.

My life has been many examples of shortsighted goals that I thought would fix things. You know, if there's something broken inside me, if there's a hole in there, I thought: If I could just write a good song someday, then I'd be OK. You know, if I could just be on stage in front of people I'd never seen before and be validated by them.

'Darkest Before Dawn,' the short film, is basically the film of a man who faces the darkness when his back is against the wall and just about how miracles come in all forms, and even in your darkest times, it comes.
