I've been in situations where, in the midst of really hardcore events in my life, I made some ridiculous off-color joke that was in horrible taste, but made people laugh.
I was always making up rhymes. But I never thought that poetry would become my life.
I've had to learn to fight all my life - got to learn to keep smiling. If you smile things will work out.
The songs are not necessarily autobiographical. A lot of songs are a combination of influences. It might be some part of my life, or something I've felt, or something somebody's told me. It all comes together.
I've got over so much. Mum wouldn't want anything to come into my life that would make me fragile again.
The most important thing in my life is Christ. He's more important than winning or losing or whether I'm playing or not. Everything else is just a bonus.
I frankly encountered more anti-Semitism in the northeast than I did in Oklahoma, but not much either place. Anti-Semitism is not part of my life.
My life is storytelling. I believe in stories, in their incredible power to keep people alive, to keep the living alive, and the dead.
My life has always been - there's never been a middle. Either I had or I didn't. Either I was up or I was down.
My life has two modes. One is sitting around writing and contemplating or building things. The other is execution mode. It takes a while to switch from one to the other.
I have lived most of my life with the conviction that I don't dream, because I never could retrieve a dream.
I don't have to live the roller coaster other people live with my life. It's hard because people try to have an effect.
I'll be working the rest of my life because I'm a character actor and don't have to worry about box office.
I've always been seen as the underdog in everything I've ever done in my life, and it doesn't bother me in the slightest. The lessons have just made me stronger.
It was the moment I learned acting is not acting out. After that light went on, I spent the rest of my life trying to figure out how to make other people realize it.
Remember, I'm the kind of kid who used to get stuffed into a locker by school bullies. I've never felt like I'm a big star at any level of my life.
It's kind of major, learning to drive. I feel like it kicked up other stuff in my life.
I am free to go wherever I want for the rest of my life.
I am the owner of my life, so hold your tongue and let me live.
Kiss me until I forget how terrified I am of everything wrong with my life.
So much beauty and joy in my life has come from going through something really difficult
