“Suck it up. This is the life you chose for yourself, so buck up and deal.”

“When life sucks, throw yourself into art.”

“Focusing your life solely on making a buck shows a poverty of ambition. It asks too little of yourself. And it will leave you unfulfilled.”

“Good in Crisis; Sucks at Normal.’ That about sums up my whole life, doesn’t it?”

“Develop enough courage so that you can stand up for yourself and then stand up for somebody else.”

“You're responsible for yourself. You messed up your life, and it's up to you to fix it. No one else is going to do it for you -- for any of you.”

“If you think I'm being bleak, I'm not. It's wonderful to be making yourself up. That's what makes life so exciting. It's an unending adventure.”

“Here then is the secret: You must give yourself, if you desire to find yourself. "Give up thy life if thou wouldst live."”

“Remember to always be yourself. Unless you suck.”

“Here's to opening and upward…
and to yourself and up with you and up with and up with laughing.”
