I’m probably 20 percent atheist and 80 percent agnostic. I don’t think anyone really knows. You’ll either find out or not when you get there, until then there’s no point thinking about it.
This idea of perpetual happiness is crazy and overrated, because those dark moments fuel you for the next bright moments; each one helps you appreciate the other.
When I got untethered from the comfort of religion, it wasn’t a loss of faith for me, it was a discovery of Self.
Shoving feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken.
I’ve always been at war with myself, for right or wrong.

Happiness is overrated. There has to be conflict in life.
A family is a risky venture, because the greater the love, the greater the loss… That’s the trade-off. But I’ll take it all.

Man, when I’m riding with the helmet on, I’m invisible. And people just deal with me as the guy on the bike… it gives you a chance to read ’em.
Given a chance, I would like to work with Aishwarya Rai Bachchan because she’s a versatile actor.
It’s a lovely experience walking around a museum by yourself.
I’m one of those people you hate because of genetics. It’s the truth.
My affliction has been… I can make something or draw something or design something better than I can explain it.
I’d like to design something like a city or a museum. I want to do something hands on rather than just play golf which is the sport of the religious right.
One of the greatest, smartest things I ever did was give my kids Angie as their mom. She is such a great mom. Oh, man, I’m so happy to have her.
My kids are just waiting for me at home. I’m their father. They’re wondering, ‘When’s Daddy coming home?’
