It's sort of my go-to stock image of my childhood, actually. I think it has something to do with knowing I'll never be able to go back to that time that makes me cry every time I listen to it.

There is no sunrise so beautiful that it is worth waking me up to see it.

One friend with whom you have a lot in common is better than three with whom you struggle to find things to talk about.

Nothing gives you confidence like being a member of a small, weirdly specific, hard-to-find demographic.

I really think guys only need two pairs of shoes. A nice pair of black shoes and a pair of Chuck Taylors.

Later, when you're grown up, you realize you never really get to hang out with your family. You pretty much have only eighteen years to spend with them full time, and that's it.

It'd be great to be so famous that if I murder someone, I will never, ever, ever serve any jail time, even if it's totally obvious to everyone that I did it.

Perhaps the magic would last, perhaps it wouldn't. But then again, what does?

I'd like to turn the silence right up, but how do you do that?

Even now I can't describe why I love skating so much.

Are you kidding? That's the music of the spheres, commissar. It's beautiful. Like old jazz.

My first love is art, and I see a lot of things in an artistic way.

It is in the nature of tyranny to deride the will of the people as the voice of the mob, and to denounce the cry for freedom as the roar of anarchy.
