The question whether truth is necessary, must not merely be affirmed beforehand, but must be affirmed to such an extent that the principle, belief, or conviction finds expression, that there is nothing more necessary than truth, and in comparison with it everything else has only a secondary value.

We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.

My religious point of view is something I can't talk about. It goes against my belief system to talk publicly about my own spiritual beliefs.

I'm not a fighter by nature, but, if I believe in something, I stand up for it.

Not 'I don't give a f-' to just be reckless and do whatever, but 'I don't give a f- what they say.' ... I know who I am and what I'm doing in my life and what I've accomplished and continue to accomplish as a performer, as a writer, as an artist, as a person, as a human being. I'm happy with the man I'm becoming.

Once you have made up your mind, stick to it; there no longer any 'if' or 'but'.
