If anything interferes with my inner peace I will walk away. Arguments with family members. All that stuff. None of it matters.

I bought a lot of rubbish things that kids buy: skateboards and clothes and typical teenage stuff. And as soon as I could I wasted a lot of money on cars - BMW's mostly - for myself and my family.

I've never had a divorce but I've seen so many of my friends my sister my family go through that stuff so I try to write for the people that can't write about it. I take on their sorrow so I'm able to kind of express it or their joy.

Sure I have friends plenty of friends and they all come around wantin' to borrow money. I've always been generous with my friends and family with money but selfish with the important stuff like love.

Thank goodness I had a great family growing up a great foundation. But I will say my faith my parents my family all that stuff is very very important. And I'll say that until the day I die.

Democrats are people who raise your taxes and spend your money on weird stuff. They steal your guns and they spit on your faith.

You cannot be President of the United States if you don't have faith. Remember Lincoln going to his knees in times of trial in the Civil War and all that stuff.

I've had great success and I've had catastrophic failure. It's really how you handle the rough stuff that defines you I think.

I'm kind of a failure. I mean I'll be honest. I'm successful in that I'm getting to work on great stuff but I think I'm a failure in all the personal stuff that is most important to me.

I guess my experience with some stuff is kind of abstract.

When I'm home on a break I lock myself in my room and play guitar. After two or three hours I start getting into this total meditation. It's a feeling few people experience and that's usually when I come up with weird stuff. It just flows. I can't force myself. I don't sit down and say I've got to practice.

There is only one thing which can master the perplexed stuff of epic material into unity and that is an ability to see in particular human experience some significant symbolism of man's general destiny.

I've been looking to do TV for a while. I've always done guest starring stuff. I've done a couple of multi-episode arcs and I've always loved the experience.

Information's pretty thin stuff unless mixed with experience.

Feminism is just about equality really and there's so much stuff attached to the word when it's actually so simple. I don't know why it's always so bogged down.

I consider myself to have been the bridge between the shotgun and the binoculars in bird watching. Before I came along the primary way to observe birds was to shoot them and stuff them.

And I'm very surprised that all this stuff actually worked out to where I could have a career in film gain the benefit of my education and be thankful that I was able to break into my craft as an actor.

Being the lead of the show and working a lot of hours - all good stuff a tremendous education incredible opportunity it changed my life - it was a marathon and by the end of it I was pretty beat.

I learned more stuff in church than I did in the world.

Gradually it occurred to me that we spend a great deal of life asleep and that dreams are little narratives little stories. I thought 'Who's choreographing this stuff?'

That's what noir feels like to me. It feels like some kind of recurring dream with very strong archetypes operating. You know the guilty girl being pursued falling all kinds of stuff that we see in our dreams all the time.

An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.

In Nicaragua liberty equality and the rule of law were the stuff of dreams. But in Paris I discovered the value of those words.

The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.
