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

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 spiders unite, they can tie down a lion.

I learned piano off YouTube and still do a lot. It's hard to find contemporary indie music on there, at least lessons, because the reach is smaller. I did it so people like me out there could learn my songs if they wanted to and maybe, in a small way, to pay forward all the free lessons I've had over the years.

Set a goal, and in small, consistent steps, work to reach it. Get support from your peers when you start flagging. Repeat. You will change.

It is very difficult for girls. They're told to look one way, but to act another way.

The natives of Silicon Valley learned long ago that when you share your knowledge with someone else, one plus one usually equals three. You both learn each other's ideas, and you come up with new ones.

I feel what a spouse can do for you, no child or parent can. Just that if you get the right connect with your spouse, you get it going right.

When our bodies are sick and people extend their sympathy, bring us soup, offer up solutions. When our minds are sick, people tend to shy away from you, be afraid, or call you outright crazy. I'm fascinated by the way society and individuals view mental illness, and most of my shorts comment on that.

Comedy is actually very macho driven.

So many features at Sundance seemed to be powered more on the director's need to be a director than any particular story.

Don’t be in such a rush to figure everything out. Embrace the unknown and let your life surprise you.

These big-package releases. There should be a cute name for them.

We want to live in the black and white, but we don't. The world is gray. And, I'm always fascinated by people who are clearly, 'This is black and this is white, and that's the way life is.' Life always has something to say about that.

If you are a magician then you can always do a lot more magic than you think you can.

In 2007, I hit 50 home runs. That was pretty cool. I never thought I'd be able to do that. At the time, I didn't even think it was that big of a deal for some reason. But now, looking back, I realize it was pretty cool.

Occasionally a roast master needs to get out of Dodge.

From the practical point of view, the susceptibility to infection of the guinea pig proved to be the most useful step forward. Today, all laboratories use this animal for preserving the virus.

I never dye my own hair, I don't know if I could get every spot, and I have a good bit of grey.

I don't like vegetables and most fruit.

The world has never yet seen a truly great and virtuous nation because in the degradation of woman the very fountains of life are poisoned at their source.

I've spent so much time the last seven, eight years in Los Angeles, away from my family, away from my friends, away from the city that is my favourite place to be and I just want to come here and have a proper life.

'Haywire' is full of different kinds of love songs. It's definitely country and a little something for everybody. I feel like the subject matter goes a little deeper about love and relationships.

When people feel a certain religion claims to have all the answers, that's what turns them off.

Today, technology asks too much of people.

Weaving is a work of mindfulness, of taking time to give attention to the details that will contribute to the woven piece's unity.
