It takes me a long time to make a big purchase...

I can't even open my eyes underwater.

I always say I am a realist, and my mom says, "No, you just have anxiety."

If you don't fully take every moment and love every moment and every person that you're with, your life will be over before you realise.

You'll never see Spartacus in a (expletive) chair!

Perfect Night has that magic and it has the raw energy that grabs you by the throat.

Knowledge is the treasure of the mind, but discretion is the key to it, without which it is useless. The practical part of wisdom is the best.

I think there are very few people, in my generation at least, that are that passionate about what they do.
