moving people guy
I never thought I was finished when people said I was finished, or any of that stuff. I always had this undying belief that even if I was in a wheelchair and I could only move my finger, somehow I would become the guy who does the amazing thing with his finger.
nice character thinking
It's always good I think in general to have different energies on screen, like it's nice to have different characters go at different speeds, just like different people work at different speeds.
beautiful funny-sarcastic alcohol
I'm very serious about no alcohol, no drugs. Life is too beautiful.
funny stupid parent
I got a lot of support from my parents. That's the one thing I always appreciated. They didn't tell me I was being stupid; they told me I was being funny.
motivational creativity creative
If you've got a talent, protect it.
letting-go jobs father
My father could have been a great comedian, but he didn't believe that that was possible for him, and so he made a conservative choice. Instead, he got a safe job as an accountant. When I was 12 years old, he was let go from that safe job, and our family had to do whatever we could to survive. I learned many great lessons from my father, not the least of which was that you can fail at what you don’t want, so you might as well take a chance on doing what you love.

Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them.

Our eyes are not viewers, they're also projectors that are running a second story over the picture that we see in front of us all the time. Fear is writing that script, and the working title is 'I'll never be enough'
happiness powerful men
Imagine if you could actually be that happy? That would be powerful, man. People would be tunneling under the street to avoid you. They'd go 'Oh, man - is that happy guy still out there?
self-esteem mean self-confidence
A better you means a better universe.
tearing-apart persons
Psychologically, it's what I love to be. Tearing apart a person from the inside out.
good-morning beautiful coffee
I wake up some mornings and sit and have my coffee and look out at my beautiful garden, and I go, 'Remember how good this is. Because you can lose it.'
birthday love-is doing-what-you-love
50 years: here's a time when you have to separate yourself from what other people expect of you, and do what you love. Because if you find yourself 50 years old and you aren't doing what you love, then what's the point?
dream wisdom giving-up
It is better to risk starving to death then surrender. If you give up on your dreams, what's left?
