“We are all members of the same flawed species. Putting our moral vision into practice means imposing our will on others. The human lust for power and esteem, coupled with its vulnerability to self-deception and self-righteousness, makes that an invitation to a calamity, all the worse when the power is directed at a goal as quixotic as eradicating human self-interest.”
“Music is the only thing keeping the planet together”
“For alarmingly large chunks of an average day, I am a moron.”

“Beards in olden times, were the emblems of wisdom and piety.”
“Even as a child I remember thinking, She can beat me, but she cannot beat my outfit.”
“The bit I love is I really love acting, really, and the circus of being a celebrity is something I'm sort of not interested in. I find it strange”
“Just know this, that God is faithful, even when you don't have faith yourself.”
