“Harry: No, I don't think you're paranoid. I think you're the opposite of paranoid. I think you walk around with the insane delusion that people like you.”

“Maybe the life I think I'm living is a paranoid delusion… Sanity is a valuable possession; I hoard it the way people once hoarded money. I save it, so I will have enough, when the time comes.”

“… can I tell you something…? I don't think you're in love with the past. I think you're scared of the future.”

“If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.”

“At that point I realized that I had been thinking in Russian. It’s a wonderful language for paranoid thoughts.”

“I don't think it's very easy to make friends with musicians. We're all a bit paranoid. It soon becomes very heavy.”

“You may be an idiot but I don't think you're a fool.”

“Do you think people have noticed that I'm around?”
“I notice when you're not. Does that count?”

“You're a wonderful person, Jamie. You're beautiful, you're kind, you're gentle… you're everything that I'd like to be. If people don't like you, or they think you're strange, then that's their problem.”

“I love being around people that are smarter than me, that think faster than me. So even if you're a dork, and you wear stupid clothes, and you make a fool of yourself, and everyone makes fun of you, and you're just an idiot—I don't care about the context. I don't care. If you're genius and I recognize it, I kind of dig that.”
