To me, these days will never end. I am always there, in that room with her, or if not I, the imprint of myself - my fossil-love

I like to look at how people work together when they are put into stressful situations, when life stops being cozy.

Art can make a difference because it pulls people up short. It says, don't accept things for their face value; you don't have to go along with any of this; you can think for yourself.

I don't know how to answer. I know what I think, but words in the head are like voices underwater. They are distorted.

I felt like a seed in a pomegranate. Some say that the pomegranate was the real apple of Eve, fruit of the womb, I would eat my way into perdition to taste you.

Happiness is a specific. Misery is a generalization. People usually know exactly why they are happy. They very rarely know why they are miserable.

Quest is at the heart of what I do-the holy grail, and the terror that you'll never find it, seemed a perfect metaphor for life.

I find pieces of myself everywhere, and I cut myself handling them.

Do you fall in love often?" Yes often. With a view, with a book, with a dog, a cat, with numbers, with friends, with complete strangers, with nothing at all.

Life cannot be calculated. That's the big mistake our civilization made. We never accepted that randomness is not a mistake in the equation -- it is part of the equation.

Sooner or later you'll hear what your heart has always been telling you:stop trying to be who you think you should be - become who you are.

Food that walked and talked, that was us. McPeople.

Obviously its nice to give your time and especially when there is money being raised. It's rewarding.

I really feel like the first day I went to drama school and I went up on stage, that I found my vocation. It's kind of a cliched thing to say but I really feel like it was what I was meant to do.

Do not think you will necessarily be aware of your own enlightenment.

When I write love songs, people think they're really soppy - but I see love as a consolation for the boredom of life.

Confidence is a horrible thing

We do not have to accept our current circumstances. We will change them. We are Americans. That's what we do.

If someone is choosing between joining McKinsey or your startup it's very unlikely they're going to work out at the startup.

Fewer people are bent from hard work than are crooked from avoiding it.
