It will be the kiss by which all others in your life will be judged... and found wanting.
We are dying from overthinking. We are slowly killing ourselves by thinking about everything. Think. Think. Think. You can never trust the human mind anyway. It’s a death trap.
If you’re an alcoholic or a drug addict or something, we flirt with death. We pull ourselves to the brink of destruction and if we’re lucky we pull ourselves back. We all have that in us.
My philosophy is: It’s none of my business what people say of me and think of me. I am what I am and I do what I do. I expect nothing and accept everything. And it makes life so much easier.
I never cling on to hope or certainty. They’re the enemies of peace.
No expectations. Ask nothing, expect nothing and accept everything, and life is very well.
Life’s too short to deal with other people’s insecurities.
I don’t like mushiness. I’m a very emotional person but I hate sentimentality. I don’t like great demonstrations of emotion. But as I’m getting older, I’m getting much more open about all that.

I am a bit of a solitude person – a solitary personality. I like being on my own. I don’t have any major friendships or relationships with people.
Certainty is the enemy of mankind. If you’re certain about everything, you have the Inquisition, you have Nazis and you have – that certainty is something to be guarded about.
The whole point of courage, to overcome your fear. That’s the interesting thing, when courage bleeds through the fear.
We are fascinated by the darkness in ourselves, we are fascinated by the shadow, we are fascinated by the boogeyman.
Keep low expectations and life gets pretty good.
Why love if losing hurts so much? I have no answers anymore; only the life I have lived. The pain now is part of the happiness then.
I read a lot, that’s my main hobby. I’ve got an iPad which I store books on and I read voraciously. I’m a slow reader but I’m obsessive. I make references, underline things, cross-reference. I’m an autodidact.
I am able to play monsters well. I understand monsters. I understand madmen.
Things have changed so much now. Everything is downloaded onto computers. I’m not a computer-savvy guy, but with downloading the movie industry has changed.
