“No matter what you do, no matter how hard you try, you're screwed because it's all fixed and rigged. There is a club and you ain't in it.”

“No matter how hard you try to be what you once were, you can only be what you are here and now.”

“It doesn't matter what you did or where you were, it matters where you are and what you're doing.”

“[Everyone needs] a woman who'll listen, take your side, tell the truth - or not, as you need it. A woman you can count on, no matter what, and who'll love you no matter how much you screw up.”

“You could just tell when a person belonged somewhere. That is something you can't fake, no matter how hard you try”

“You do have to rise above. If you're true to yourself and you're confident with who you are and you really know where you're coming from, you'll be fine. No matter what anyone says and no matter what anyone tries to do to you.”

“In the end that was the choice you made, and it doesn't matter how hard it was to make it. It matters that you did.”

“The thing that's so interesting about being alive is that you're all in. No matter what you do you're all in; this is gonna kill you. So I think you might as well play the most magnificent game you can while you're waiting—because, do you have anything better to do, really?”

“It doesn't matter what you can do if you don't know why you're doing it.”

“It only takes one mistake and nothing else you ever do will matter. No matter how hard you work or how smart you become, you'll always be known for that one poor choice.”
