It's easier to be responsible for the decisions that you've made yourself than for the ones that other people have made for you.

Relationships or not, I believe that people don't need to know about my life beyond a certain point.

I think it's important to have as much as a normal life and take the time to get perspective because it only helps your work in the long run.

People have so many hang-ups about how other people live their lives. People always want to keep you in a little box, or they need to label you and fix you in time and location.

Life is a wildly transient thing with people coming into your life and dropping away. It definitely takes work to maintain relationships.

The stuff that matters in life is no longer stuff. It's other people. It's relationships. It's experience.

I've always been able to decide what was more important at different points in my life, but I never gave up personal things to work, never.

Life unravels the way it does, and it has an effect on you, but you have to take responsibility for dealing with it.

I don't talk to anybody about my personal life, and maybe that perpetuates it, too. But it's really important to own what you want to own and keep it to yourself.
