Shocked to see me?" I drawl at them, chuckling at the horrific joke.

The truth is what I make it. I could set this world on fire and call it rain.

In the fairy tales, the poor girl smiles when she becomes a princess. Right now, I don't know if I'll ever smile again.

World-building is my favorite pastime, so with me, I'm always about reining myself in.

I don't want to lose too much of the mystery by hammering every detail to death.

You want me to pin my entire operation, the entire revolution on some teenaged love story? I can't believe this.

She was happy, yes, in her own way, as best as she knew.But there’s a difference between a single candle in darkness and a sunrise.

I am the shadow of the flame.

Gambling undermines the moral fiber of society.

When the average American consumes 43 times as much as the average African, we've got to think that consumption is an issue. It's not just about population.

If the United States had not intervened in Afghanistan, then obviously, we would have then allowed the attacks of 9/11 to go unanswered. I don't think most of Americans wanted that to happen.

It's not what we don't know that prevents us from succeeding; it's what we know that just ain't so that is our greatest obstacle.

I know it's such a boring interview sometimes with us at 'American Horror Story', but I just can't say a word. I would certainly love to be back, that's for sure. It's such a great job.

I love nerdy work. I love writing notes. I try to go back, as much as I can, to feed what happens and why they do what they do.
