Quote

In my love-challenged condition, seeing a difficulty for someone else can leave me feeling a little more smug or superior-by-comparison.

I used to get the feeling, and sometimes I still get it, that sometimes I was fooling somebody; I don't know who or what, maybe myself.

I believe that love and laughter can only happen when one person takes the time to think about what would cause the other person to feel good.

I couldn't be in a relationship and behave like somebody else or pretend I felt something I didn't feel. And that includes saying things I thought might jeopardize the relationship.

I love when people have their own creative vision, when a person stands out and tries different things.

When I found somebody who I fell in love with, it made me feel different than I felt the rest of the day. It was electrifying. That's what inspired the 'Off to the Races' melodies. That's one of the times when you're feeling electrified by someone else and they make you happy to be alive.

Nothing pleases me more than when somebody who was awe-inspired to be working with me realizes I'm just another schmuck that they're bored of hanging out with on a set. I love that moment. I like it when that persistent illusion is smashed.

Often we think love is a feeling: that you spontaneously experience it.

Everybody has their demons that they face, and I went through a time when I thought it was impossible to love myself.

I relate to happiness as an ecstatic moment - something you don't create, you encounter.
