We're given a code to live our lives by. We don't always follow it, but it's still there.

My mom would give me a piece to play, but I wouldn't do any theory because when it came time to do it I would sneak back upstairs and watch TV. So, I had these kind of nonchalant lessons for years, then it just started soaking in.

Vanessa Carlton

No man is happy without a delusion of some kind. Delusions are as necessary to our happiness as realities.

Christian Nevell Bovee

It may offend us to hear our own thoughts expressed by others: we are not sure enough of their souls.

Jean Rostand

Remorse begets reform.

William Cowper

The more you say, the less people remember. The fewer the words, the greater the profit.

Francois Fenelon

I think L.A.'s terrific. You fly an hour and a half and you're in the mountains in three feet of powder. I also think it's a much better city if you're working as an actor. If you're not working and you don't see your dreams coming true, there can be a lot of heartache.

Scott Patterson

It's a beautiful thing, the destruction of words.

George Orwell

I recently spent quite a bit of time in Sheffield, England, which is where I'm from. I wouldn't move back there, but it's funny when you spend a bit of time in the place where you were brought up. You kind of realize how that place has had quite a big effect on you or made you a certain way.

Jarvis Cocker

If I can inspire someone to go in a positive way and pursue a dream, it can only be good.
