I remember growing up, saying you’re an artist it sounds pretentious but now it’s one of the only dignified things that you can call yourself.
When you're taught to love everyone, to love your enemies, then what value does that place on love?
People only hate what they see in themselves.
If you believe in what you're doing, you're going to make money. When you question it, you won't.
Everything is acting.
I don't say things to be offensive; I say things because they're funny to me. It amuses me.
