Deadline' is the story of a young man forced to discover who he is, and what's important in life, during the short span of his senior year in high school.

...racist thought and action says far more about the person they come from than the person they are directed at.

Adopted. Big Deal; so was Superman

Something about the joy and pain of that moment, something about the excruciating contrast, made me feel that no matter what happens now, my life has been worth it. What a ride.

I think when you’re dying you start looking for important things in the corners. You can’t let anything that seems even semi-important pass, because it passes forever. Things take on meaning.

You put yourself out there in the truest way you can and hope others do the same. You'll connect or you won't, but you did what you could.

I believe there was a big bang and that because of that we are all connected into infinity, and I know very little having to do with human beings that doesn't also have to do with connection.

I have made a career of creating characters who fight school authority and chomp at the bit to get out into the 'real' world and live their lives, mostly because that's the kind of teenager I was.

I'd rather be a flash than a slowly burning ember.

But the truth doesn't need to be known, or believed, to be true.

Nothing exists without its opposite.

You are not sorry for what you did...you are only sorry for how it turned out for you.

Giving is not favor

Eyes are brave. They speak the truth when the lips lie.

I've gone to school for business, for design, for architecture.

Somebody hits me, I'm going to hit him back. Even if it does look like he hasn't eaten in a while.

We are what we frequently do.

I support Planned Parenthood privately with my personal contribution, and that should be the goal of any such agency, to find private donations.

Go on day by day fulfilling the task of the day, and leaving the results with God.

It’s quite easy to accidentally overhear people talking downstairs if you hold an upturned glass to the floorboards and accidentally put your ear to it.

In right and service to their noble country.
