I'm addicted to Altoids. I call them 'acting pills.'

Work hard and figure out how to be useful and don't try to imitate anybody else's success. Figure out how to do it for yourself with yourself.

Am I grumpy? I might be. But I think maybe sometimes it's misinterpreted.

If money could buy happiness, the rich would not drown their sorrows in expensive wine.

My gravestone will say,'Here Lies Damon Lindelof - Or Does He?

As one gets older, one discovers everything is going to be exactly the same with different hats on.

She wasn't feeling nothing. She was feeling too much. She was blocking it all out. That was a survival skill, and her still-beating heart was proof that it worked.
