I don't go see big, silly movies. I like small things about regular folks, you know?

The underlying sickness of human life is an unwillingness to look with open eyes at the condition of the world.

If I don't get the goose-bump factor when I'm reading it than I can't do it.

A lively blockhead in company is a public benefit. Silence or dulness by the side of folly looks like wisdom.
