I just came in this morning with one goal; to make it back tonight, so I'm very excited for the final.

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

Everything's connected, and everything has meaning if you look for it.

It's just such a great miracle when things do work, and they work for such a wild variety of crazy reasons.

The truth is I hate cocktail parties when the only person I know is my supposed date, and he abandons me the minute we come in the door.
