You shouldn't get to live in society and give nothing back. People complain about their taxes, yet they do nothing for the community. That makes me furious.

It begins and ends with money. It's absurd in this day and age when we need so much money for education, health, for people, that a $100 million dollars can be spent on a film. It's obscene

I think my mission is to become the greatest human I can. I know that sounds pompous, but what else do we have?

I don't want to always be 'the best I can be.' I just want to be me.
