Honestly, I've been very blessed. Yes, I am cursed with this gift.

Mandy because that was the most meaningful relationship.

The sex with Mandy was good, but it wasn't like warm apple pie.

Honestly, I've been very blessed. Yes, I am cursed with this gift.

As an actor, you should be willing to take challenges.

I play opposite Beverly D'Angelo, and that was definitely a great time.

I got hit twice in the face, and that was not fun.

Stay consistent with your message and who you are.

There comes a time in your life where you're called to not only reinvent yourself but to rebuild your spirit. It's so relevant today.

Planet of the Apes was a gigantic challenge, making the clothes work so people could do stunts and action in the clothes. I really learned a lot about that in that movie.

Failure is an attitude, not an outcome.

Forgiveness is a big part of - especially post-civil rights movement - is a big part of African-American Christianity, and I wasn't raised within the Christian church; I wasn't raised within any church.

Even the strongest bonds, flesh and blood, they can just evaporate in a second given the right conditions.

I have no reason to sit home and write songs all day without going out and playing for the folks. And I have no reason to go play for the folks unless I'm writing new songs so they can sort of feed off one another. And I just try to do the best I can.

The global response to global terrorism must not endanger fundamental human rights and freedoms.

I grew up sort of lower working class. And I just didn't want to have the money struggles that my parents had. You know, I could just - as loving an environment I grew up in - and I grew up in a great home, a very loving home - but, you know, we had that stress. We had that stress in our life.

Kindness is loving people more than they deserve

I don't make a habit of watching my parents' films, because it is a little strange. But I will say that I binge watch 'House of Cards' compulsively, and I think it's the first time I've ever seen one of my mom's projects and totally forgot she was my mom!

Psychopaths are actually, really, really, really rare in our culture, are people who don't... Or in society, in the world. They're people who don't feel guilt. They're people who don't feel fear. I think that most of us feel those things. There's a kind of... They're almost like superheroes. Not to glorify them, but you know what I mean?

There has to be a mathematical explanation for how bad that tie is.

'Twin Peaks' is my favorite show of all time.

The wall that protects you from rejection also keeps out love and success. Accept your abundance.

You need to get outside of your comfort zone to write songs that are interesting, songs that are compelling, songs that are different from what other people are writing.

One way of reading my life is that I have been in constant search for a father.

I rebelled by not getting straight A's and not following the path that my elder sister did. She was valedictorian and is very exemplary in her way. I look a lot like her, so I just had to do the opposite. Not that I got bad grades, but I was all about performance and just finding any way that I could to be involved in any kind of production.

We are living in an age where teenagers are not going to the movies.

I am in control of my life.

I want to be a child doctor. A pediatry... how do you call it, pediatrician? Do I like kids? No, not really.

I don't like to do things for any other reason than it happens spontaneously or there's something that makes it happen naturally. I don't like putting down too many plans and trying to do a strategy to get a certain response or a certain effect.

When I got signed, I wanted to be involved in a charity, but it was hard because I didn't know which problems to start with.

War at this time and in this place is unwelcome, unwise, and simply wrong.

Without poetry, stories would be told in sepia.

I am all for cracking down on inappropriate digital behaviour. Too often the connected world is an excuse for some coward hiding behind a keyboard to bully someone else.
