About Me


I'm alright.



My Interests



“Hi everyone. I just want to thank you so much. This is such a big deal, not only for us, but for all other independent musicians and artists that spend most of their time struggling, and this, the fact that we’re standing here tonight, the fact that we’re able to hold this, it’s just to prove no matter how far out your dreams are, it’s possible. And, you know, fair play to those who dare to dream and don’t give up. And this song was written from a perspective of hope, and hope at the end of the day connects us all, no matter how different we are. And so thank you so much, who helped us along way. Thank you.”
~ Marketa Irglova (upon accepting her Oscar for Best Song)

"The term 'serious actor' is kind of an oxymoron, isn't it? [Like] 'Republican party' [or] 'airplane food.'
~ Johnny Depp
""There's no excuse to be bored. Sad, yes. Angry, yes. Depressed, yes. Crazy, yes. But there's no excuse for boredom, ever."
~ Viggo Mortensen

"I will permit no man to narrow and degrade my soul by making me hate him."
~ Booker T. Washington

"Courage is the human virtue that counts most — courage to act on limited knowledge and insufficient evidence. That's all any of us have."
~ Robert Frost

"Those who perform good deeds do not experience remorse and woe. Instead they are happy now and they are happy later—in this world and the next they know bliss."
~ The Buddha

"I have found the paradox, that if you love until it hurts there can be no more hurt, only more love"
~ Mother Teresa

"Wake up naked, sipping coffee, making plans to change the world, while the world is changing us; it was good, good love."
~ Dave Matthews

"It is an odd thing, but every one who disappears is said to be seen at San Francisco. It must be a delightful city, and possess all the attractions of the next world."
~ Oscar Wilde

"So you come be still here next to me
Rebelling doesn't make you free.
And you can't run forever 'cause I know
That you know I'm what you need."
~ Tahnee Shields

"And we know a deep kiss
Isn’t pressure of mouths
But how far you fall
Into each other."
~ Chad Deverman

A Question:
A voice said, "Look me in the stars
And tell me truly, men of earth,
If all the soul-and-body scars
Were not too much to pay for birth."
~ Robert Frost

"Life and love are life and love, a bunch of violets is a bunch of violets, and to drag in the idea of a point is to ruin everything. Live and let live, love and let love, flower and fade, and follow the natural curve, which flows on, pointless."
~ D.H. Lawrence

The Seven Blunders of the World:
1. Wealth without work
2. Pleasure without conscience
3. Knowledge without character
4. Commerce without morality
5. Science without humanity
6. Worship without sacrifice
7. Politics without principle
~ Mahatma Gandhi

[When asked why he hides his box office good looks behind strange wigs, fake teeth, and girly squeals] "I think it's an actor's responsibility to change every time. Not only for himself and the people he's working with, but for the audience. If you just go out and deliver the same dish every time...it's meatloaf again...you'd get bored. I'd get bored."
~ Johnny Depp
