Man is very well defended against himself... The actual fortress is inaccessible, even invisible to him, unless his friends and enemies play the traitor and conduct him in by a secret path.

I distrust the wisdom if not the sincerity of friends, who would hold my hands while my enemies stab me.

With friends, one is well; but at home, one is better.

I like friends who have independent minds because they tend to make you see problems from all angles.

I was letting people dictate who should be my friends. I felt like I couldn't be friends with Madonna. And so I dissed her, even though she showed me nothing but love. I felt bad because when I went to jail, I called her and she was the only person that was willing to help me.

The realest people don't have a lot of friends.
