Truth is, I love everyone that is a good person regardless of what they look like, walk like, or who they love.

Be like a duck. Calm on the surface, but always paddling like the dickens underneath.
In awe, I watched the waxing moon ride across the zenith of the heavens like an ambered chariot towards the ebony void of infinite space wherein the tethered belts of Jupiter and Mars hang, for ever festooned in their orbital majesty.

Relationships are like traffic lights. And I just have this theory that I can only exist in a relationship if it’s a green light.
Stem cell research is the key to developing cures for degenerative conditions like Parkinson’s and motor neuron disease from which I and many others suffer. The fact that the cells may come from embryos is not an objection, because the embryos are going to die anyway.

Old age is like everything else. To make a success of it, you’ve got to start young.

Dad’s Jewish and Irish, Mom’s German and Scotch. I couldn’t say I was anything. My last name isn’t even Downey. My dad changed his name when he wanted to get into the Army and was underage. My real name is Robert Elias. I feel like I’m still looking for a home in some way.
Resentment is like drinking poison and waiting for the other person to die.

Life is like a dogsled team. If you ain’t the lead dog, the scenery never changes.

If I was to go to sleep before midnight, I would feel weird about myself, like I wasted a day. My most productive hours are between midnight and five.

Why is this so hard?’
I feel like I’m too busy writing history to read it.

A beautiful plant is like having a friend around the house.
I’m, like, really cute.

A countryman between two lawyers is like a fish between two cats.
People want to call me racist for doing the Bon Qui Qui character, and I’m like, ‘Look, Bon Qui Qui is a representation of a hood chick. That’s it.’ There are lots of hood chicks out there: some are black, some are Mexican, some are Salvadorian, and some are white.
