I've come to learn that the choices I labor over and go back and forth about and ask a million people for their opinions and make lists about those are always the wrong choices.

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 don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

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.

Listen, I've always been very headstrong.

Is there anything better than making a kid laugh?

I love things that are old and beautiful and tell a story, even if it's a sad one.

These are the times when a genius wants to live.

The less you blame others the more you will succeed.

Best practices usually aren't.

If you eat well, you can transform your life.

What writes worse than a Theodore Dreiser? ... Two Theodore Dreisers.

I stand up for what I believe in and a lot of the time that can be against people's opinion.
