“If you want to talk to somebody honestly, as a human being, ask him about his kids. Find out what his dreams are - just to find out, for no other reason. Because as soon as you lay your hands on a conversation to steer it, it's not a conversation anymore, it's a pitch. And you're not a human being, you're a marketing rep.”
"I always thought it'd be better to be a fake somebody than a real nobody."
“I'm saying you've already done plenty of things to regret, you just don't know what they are. It's when you discover them, when you see the folly in something you've done and you wish that you had it to do over, but it's too late. So you pick that thing up and carry it with you to remind you that life goes on, the world will spin without you, you really don't matter in the end. Then you will gain character because honesty will reach out from inside and tattoo itself across your face.”
“To love oneself is the beginning of a lifelong romance.”
“A true man is not afraid to show himself, his inner self. He relies on who he is rather than what he is.”
“Your focus determines your reality.”
“Sometimes you really can’t listen to what anybody else says. You just got to listen inside.”
“I saw the horizon. It's out there. And though I may not ever be able to touch it, it's worth reaching for.”
“It seems there exists a growing compulsion to use power merely to beget more power, money merely to beget more money, irrespective of the true cost to the nation's soul. And it is this sickness, a kind of moral blindness, commerce without conscience, which threatens to strike at the very soul of this nation.”
“To deny our own impulses is to deny the very thing that makes us human.”
