If you stop someone who's talking about something being fun, and say "Well what do you mean?" it's almost impossible to answer.

Fun has to do with habitual activities but then also terrifically novel or unusual ones. It works as a sort of strange milkshake of those concepts.

The problem with fun is we really don't know what fun means at all.

For me, what fun means is finding novelty in the suffocating familiarity of ordinary life.

If you start the day not really expecting substantial change, but anticipating some small new revelation or some small alteration, then over time you're able to find them in more places.

I think this dichotomy or opposition between work and play, between leisure and serious stuff, is definitely a bad way of thinking about the useful insights that play provides.

Play is this process of operating the world, of manipulating things. It's related to experimentation, and it's related to pleasure, but not defined by it.

We have so many choices that it's only always our fault if we're malcontent.

It's not even that finding laundry pleasurable or delightful should be our goal rather than finding television delightful. It's that both laundry and television can be delightful.

The whole idea of play is in finding, acknowledging, and then working with the natural constraints and limitations that you find in the world.

There's just an enormous vast universe of possible intrigue out there and why not pay attention to it? Because then you're not burdened with trying to find that meaning in yourself all the time.

Sketchy black van? Weird stalking of my house? What are you going to do next, offer me some candy?

A refusal of praise is a desire to be praised twice.

Music has always been such an amazing tool for me to access self and emotion.

Forget about Batman, Superman, and the Power Rangers, cause I'll be your hero if you're ever in some danger.

Sometimes the best way to learn is to return to the fundamentals.

Why do bad things happen to good people? That only happened once and He volunteered.

Much of the left-liberal elite despise traditional religious beliefs ... in general, they are profoundly uncomfortable with religious institutions and the traditional values they embody.

Not only is the world informed of everything about you, but of a great deal more.

It is lost at dice, what ancient honor won.
