My life is the road, man. I need to keep moving.
The older you get, the more rules they’re gonna try to get you to follow. You just gotta keep livin’ man, l-i-v-i-n’
Man who invented the hamburger was smart; man who invented the cheeseburger was a genius.
A foolish man... built his house upon the sand.
I do believe in God, but I think it's very healthy for a believer to spend time in the pragmatism of agnosticism, and I think God appreciates agnostics trying to make a science of it and going, "I will not believe any further than that." I enjoy that kind of engineering mind. In no way did it ever feel blasphemous to me as a man of faith.
Call no man your father upon the earth: for one is your Father, which is in heaven.
I don't want to just revolve. I want to evolve. As a man, as a human, as a father, as a lover.
Cynicism can be funny. But it's the easy way. You'll forget to enjoy anything. I try to make the evolving choice, the forward-moving, life-giving choice. Just keep living, man.
It's not a science when you are judging art, but we'd be remiss to say you can't look at something and say, 'This is more well done than that.'
I like a good pair of jeans, but I also like putting on a nice tux. I'd rather go around in a good pair of jeans that you don't wash every day, because they get more and more comfortable.
I've got incredible support from my wife and family and people around me. I've got great people around me who handle anything on the outside, business-wise, who help free me up to create in my job.
It was a big dance, working with him, ... It was a lot of new moves that I've never seen before, but always with the rhythm. It was a real vital experience. It's easy to go out there and tell the truth, because you're in a scene and you catch a wave, so to speak. You're not conscious of where you're going, but you're on a wave. And usually those turn out to be either the worst take or the best, but all you need is one that's the best, you know?" ()
Any artist, the work you do, if it's a painting or if it's a performance, you hope it translates to a common denominator with the people that they see something in their own life in there. Or they see something in somebody else's life. That's what's fun about sharing art.
Even as a kid, I wore J.C. Penney plain-pocket jeans because they were plain pockets. I didn't want anybody's name on my backside. I personally don't like to wear clothing that is named for somebody or has someone's likeness all over it.
