I just shot John Lennon.

I don't think I'm a celebrity. A chimpanzee could have done what I did.

I willingly took John Lennon's life. What I did was despicable.

I've pent up all my aggression, kept swallowing it and swallowing it.

I really didn't mean to hurt anybody. I liked John Lennon.

It's a horrible thing to realize what you've done.

I just shot John Lennon.

I was a master at keeping my feelings in.

I feel that I see John Lennon now as not a celebrity. I did then. I saw him as a cardboard cutout on an album cover.

Mr. Lennon would want me free, and I'd like to clear that up.

I wanted to be videotaped.

Once you take a life, that's it. I don't even deserve to be here.

I wasn't angry the night I shot him.

I just sought a way to be someone I wasn't. To be loved.

When you're drawing comics, you get very involved in how the story is going to develop and you spend more time daydreaming on that particular subject.

For me, it's a real shock to see American mainstream films. I can't see these films because it's always the same thing to me. This is very American. Violence is very American, and I can't understand these films. Why do they use violence? To show what? Masculinity? To show fear? Defense? What are you showing with all this violence?

It's a nice feeling to go out in the world and look for excellence - the best in man. My subject is very valid. It's about people, and about life.

When they first said I made it through it was just crazy, I mean all kinds of thoughts were going through my head, and you know to be watching the show for nine seasons and to be on it now is surreal, it's so surreal.

Good merchandise, even hidden, soon finds buyers.

The way we're attached to our phones these days, they buzz and twitch in our pockets, and we have to look and see if it was a text, a voicemail, or an e-mail. We're almost like lab rats. I tried to eschew the whole cell phone theory until I had kids; then, I had to be reachable at all times.

As exciting difficult and memorable as our past can be there comes a time when we have to get on with living.

The Ego’s job is to kill everything but itself.

If I feel really ugly or unhappy, sometimes I'll choose bright colors so they'll make me feel good. Yellows, pinks, light blues and orange. I just want to feel good all the time if I can. And colors and hairstyles and all that kind of helps out.

When you don't talk down to your audience, then they can grow with you.

When I go back to NFL functions today, I feel a bit on the outside looking in. I played 13 years in the NFL, and I loved it - made a Pro Bowl and went to the playoffs - but I always felt like I was having to knock the door down to get in.

The word 'listen' contains the same letters as the word 'silent'.

Laughter through tears is my favorite emotion.

People ask, 'Are entrepreneurs born, or are they made?' I think it's a combination of both.

A good typeface is like a well-crafted English or Italian suit: it always looks perfect.

If some musicians put half as much effort in to the business side as they do their outer look and appearances, they could be twice as far.

Every now and then, President Obama sorta drops his veil. He's less coy about his philosophy, he sort of reveals his true governing philosophy, what he really believes.
