It's either perfect, or it's the worst thing ever made and everyone is an artistic failure, including myself. (Yay, emotional extremes!)

Denial is strong with this one.

I couldn’t trust my own mind anymore, which wasthe scariest thing I’ve ever experienced.

In retrospect, crappy chemicals in my brain were working overtime, driving me to destroy myself, like that thing that makes lemmings throw them¬selves over a cliff.

FYI, it isn’t how I suspected. If you eat enough Cheetos you will NOT actually poop an extra-large Cheeto.

...make sure if you're working hard at something it's in a subject you actually want to remember something about ten years later.

I've always felt like a failure inside if I'm not already a success, if that makes any sense.

...it always felt good to have that moment of resolve, like saying, "I'm gonna learn French!" It doesn't matter if you do it or not, deciding is the high, right?

I'd found my niche: cat-owning, stalker-y secretary. And I played the same part again and again and again.

But it's the science of the stars!""She thinks it's Satanic. You gave her daughter a pentagram.""It's a natal chart, duh. You can't let ignorance trump science here, Miss Mary!

...CompuServe, and it was not sophisticated, guys. It was the cave painting equivalent to Tumblr.

The Paradox of Sustenance: For an organism’s life to be continued

If I have to face the end of human existence, I want to look totally smoking when it happens. Now shut the hell up.

When you start learning how to give when you're young, when you get older it is second nature. Just like stealing. Start young and you keep on stealing forever. Ask my politicians.

I'm fine with whatever comes my way, and whatever doesn't come my way I'm fine with too. I have a very laissez-faire attitude with the whole thing.

Giving never happens by accident. It's always intentional.

Tour is disgusting, actually, I have no idea how people do it. Your brain would go to rot, unless you really, really worked hard at making sure it didn't.

If you vote against the Defense Authorization Act in the Senate, you would also veto it as president.

I've done my job and I've got the picture out there, and I'm very happy with it.

Wars will remain while human nature remains. I believe in my soul in cooperation, in arbitration; but the soldier's occupation we cannot say is gone until human nature is gone.

I want to make movies that people talk about when they leave the theater, that aren't clear-cut, but effective and fulfilling in some sense.
