We never see ourselves as others see us.

That's another fine mess you've gotten me into.

The great thing about first-time actors is that they listen. If you say something in a scene, they were listening to it. They weren't thinking about the return line.

I prefer for things to happen serendipitously, but honestly, I also love terrible pickup lines.

I like getting up in front of an audience. It's fun when you go to a baseball game and the crowd is cheering you. I can't deny it. And it's very funny, too. Sometimes you're shy; you go somewhere and everyone's looking at you, so you feel a little self-conscious.

The inner world is very potent for me - I don't ascribe to any God or Jesus or Buddha - I just have a sense of it and revere it along with the natural world and human consciousness.

Not only can color which is under fixed laws be taught like music but it is easier to learn than drawing whose elaborate principles cannot be taught.

I am happy.

It would seem that I, who never could make much sense of physics when I was at school, have now gained a strong sense of Einsteinian space-time. I am free of the nimbyism of now, and feel a strong kinship with both the dead and the unborn.

I have done a lot of work internally to find out who I am, what voice Eamonn Walker has and how he wants to put it out there.

Every revolution seems impossible at the beginning, and after it happens, it was inevitable.

I was a big Guns N' Roses fan when I was seven. My friend who lived across the street had long dark curly hair and I had long blonde hair, so I'd dress up as Axl and she'd be Slash, and we'd rock out in front of the mirror singing 'Patience.'

'Perfect' is about a set-up that looks perfect from the outside - beautiful country house, beautiful wife and mother, everything where it should be - and the deep fissures that, in fact, lie beneath that. 'Perfect' was partly a response to the shock of my first book, 'The Unlikely Pilgrimage Of Harold Fry,' being a success.

I remember once, we got an interview, and he said, 'Dad, these people are writing about me like I'm an adult. Don't they know I'm a kid?' I have never tried to encourage him to get a music image like other musicians have.

There can be no liberty unless there is economic liberty.

You never know which Elle you're going to see day to day, because I wake up in different moods.

The greatest power that a person possesses is the power to choose.

I have wondered about time all my life.

If tears could build a stairway and memories a lane Id walk right up to heaven and bring you home again.

Bad experience is a school that only fools keep going to.

I seem to be constantly confronted by theater professionals who are more or less annoyed by the prospect of structure.

There's no problem on the planet that can't be solved without violence. That's the lesson of the civil rights movement.

A few years ago my goal was to try and get the goddamned album made, which put me in a real bad frame of mind.

IBM existed a good 50 years before mainframes - we started with scales.

The truth about parenting is that the reality of our lives needs to be enough.

I consider acting a day job - it's not my dream; it's not my be-all, end-all.
