The idea of thinking of our relationships with people as also being structured by limitations and constraints can be useful.

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.

Hard work is the foundation of the abundant life, and sacrifice is needed to make it reality.

Take chance standout. You can only have your head above waters if you stick your neck out a bit. It's time to take off... Dare to rise!

I feel like I should love them right away. But how do you do that? You can't make yourself love someone, can you?

I'll be safe and happy when I'm no longer afraid of my own mind.

The knowledge and spiritual conviction we receive from the Holy Ghost are the result of revelation.

All I've ever tried to do is get the best out of people and to bring a bit of humour into it. Unlike, say, 'The X-Factor,' which may be great TV, but has no humour at all.

Linus: It was a short summer, Charlie Brown. Charlie Brown: And it looks like it's gonna be a looong winter.

I actually don't smoke weed, but I've played a lot of stoners - especially with Seth Rogen.

I know it's impossible. But I know I'll do it!

I bought a dress a few years ago for £2,500. It was outrageous and not the kind of money you want to be spending. I had a mad moment that day.
