I have solid decent people around me, and I believe that is all it is, because you will get destroyed if you have people bringing you down.

I firmly believe there are no bad people.

People are not fundamentally bad. It only takes the smallest of correctives to take care of that tiny minority that wants to disrupt the community.

Any time there is a lot of money or ego involved, people tend to behave badly.

People are always going to identify with what it's like living in society and have people judge you in certain ways, and how you can be strong enough to be your own person and all those good things.

One of the great problems with Americans is that - being a decent people - they assume that everyone else is equally decent.

There seems to be a terrible misunderstanding on the part of a great many people to the effect that when you cease to believe you may cease to behave.

I definitely see the good in people. Certainly in my own life I strive to be somebody who is functional and well adjusted and can face conflict in a non-emotional and non-destructive way, and those are the people I try to surround myself with in my life. But as characters, they bore me.
