I still feel like a nerd.

Don't be a jerk. Try to love everyone. Give more than you take. And do it despite the fact that you only really like about seven out of 500 people.

College is the reward for surviving high school. Most people have great fun stories from college and nightmare stories from high school.

Eventually, the nerds and the geeks will have their day.

In the writing, I'm just trying to go deeper, emotionally, and learn more about myself and reveal more and find a way to connect with people in new ways.

the way i see it, hard times aren't only about money, or drought, or dust. hard times are about losing spirit, and hope, and what happens when dreams dry up.

No one who cannot limit himself has ever been able to write.

I think in terms of businesses, in terms of things that are really big and marry technology with entertainment. That's where I like to spend my time.
