I am a big fan of horror movies but I had never thought that I had wanted to act in one because I don't think that actors get to do much in them. They're usually just reacting.

I met this homeless man who had never owned a shirt in his life. He had taken his pants and worn them as a shirt and I thought it was so creative. He was liberated from the conventions of fashion.

It took me some twenty-plus years to really learn how to program.

Animals are in possession of themselves; their soul is in possession of their body. But they have no right to their life, because they do not will it.

All men were created to busy themselves with the labor for the common good.

Our strengths are our tools, our personal reality. Our weaknesses are only what we are not.

A computation is a process that obeys finitely describable rules.

There's no shortage of great ideas. There's a shortage of execution.
