We had gay burglars the other night. They broke in and rearranged the furniture.
One day [when I relapsed] I walked into a store and saw a little bottle of Jack Daniel's. And then that voice - I call it the 'lower power' - goes, 'Hey. Just a taste. Just one.' I drank it, and there was that brief moment of 'Oh, I'm okay!' But it escalated so quickly. Within a week I was buying so many bottles I sounded like a wind chime walking down the street.
Self-reliance is the key to a vigorous life. A man must look inward to find his own answers.
I used food to make myself feel better, but I felt worse when I ate.
We don’t read and write poetry because it’s cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race.
I love doing live action movies, but there's a great job in doing animation, especially one with music.
A human life is just a heartbeat in heaven.
The Russians love Brooke Shields because her eyebrows remind them of Leonid Brezhnev.
Please, don't worry so much. Because in the end, none of us have very long on this Earth. Life is fleeting.

People say that I'm a tree hugger, but I do a lot more than hug trees. I like having my drinking water without faecal matter, that's really nice. Or acceptable levels of strychnine. I'm an air breather, I've gotten used to that over the years.
When in doubt, go for the dick joke.
