I've made some great mistakes in my life, but, you know, they were honest mistakes.

So I'm more at home with my backpack, sleeping in a hotel room or on a bus or on an airplane, than I am necessarily on a bed. It's weird being here. It feels like I'm standing next to my real life.

Hope is the last thing a person does before they are defeated.

I believe that one defines oneself by reinvention. To not be like your parents. To not be like your friends. To be yourself. To cut yourself out of stone.

Loneliness adds beauty to life. It puts a special burn on sunsets and makes night air smell better.
