I always feel bad for people getting married and spending upwards of a hundred thousand dollars. It just seems so absurd to me.
Before we snap to judge someone who's done a horrible crime, is it possible that all of us in the worst possible circumstances could be capable of something like that? So it's about not judging people before really considering what the circumstance was and that not all murderers are created equal. We have a tendency in our society to just say murder? Cut and dried. Go away forever. Or maybe you should have the electric chair yourself.
I'm always looking for talented people that I want to collaborate with.
I'm fairly certain that YOLO is just Carpe Diem for stupid people.
I recommend that everyone in their youth be as out of shape as possible so that when you turn 40, people can go, "Wow, you look much better now."
I really wanted people to pay attention to me and like me. And the class clown thing, you know? There's a weird desperation to the class clown when you really investigate it. Why are they trying to be the clown so much? They're filling some kind of hole.
Are you ready to have your mind blown apart by the most awesome show in the universe. ... Tonight is your night to rage against the machine.
Never for a second did I think of myself as the sexiest guy in the world. When I was a kid, I thought I was the strongest man in the world.

Back in the '70s, like one of my favorite movies ever was 'The Bad News Bears', and that was a kids' movie, but I don't think of it that way. I think of it as just a great movie because Walter Matthau was so funny and so harsh with those kids.
You have to mind your Ps and Qs a little bit.
When it's a bad movie you want to release it quietly. You try to keep it a secret like an STD.
I think of myself as an entertainment arsenal. Like I have my acting bazooka and my music machete. And you don't know what I'm going to come at you with.
