I actually profoundly think the world's a better place when economics is fairly boring... The more boring the better.

Nice guys finish last, but we get to sleep in.

It's not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.

In principle, there are only three main components of spending that much matter to monetary policy: consumer spending, business investment and exports and trade.

We are more likely to cheat if we see others doing so. We tend to conform to accepted norms of reasonable behaviour, rather than adhere to strict rules.

Someday we'll look back on this moment and plow into a parked car.

If you're not making some mistakes, it probably means you're not trying hard enough.

Men don't know much about women. We do know when they're happy. We know when they're crying, and we know when they're pissed off. We just don't know in what order these are gonna come at us.

It's amazing, if you know what you want to say, how fast it is to write.

Being funny, it turns out, is like being a bank. It's a confidence trick. As long as everyone believes in you, you are fine.

But as the years went on, I realised that what I really want to be, all told, is a human. Just a productive, honest, courteously treated human.

I love divas. Madonna, Mariah, Beyonce, Britney.

We cannot play at preaching. We preach for eternity.

There are rocks deep enough in this earth that no matter what the rupture, they will never see the surface. There is, I think, a fear of love. There is a fear of love.

When I was 13, I remember crying on my mum's shoulder when my first girlfriend dumped me via MSN Messenger. That was cold.

Men see what they expect to see.

A lot of dreams don't come true in life. If you can make somebody's dream come true, you should.

The natural resources we've depended on, if the places where they exist are not stable, our own livelihood and our health is put at risk.

A squirrel dying in front of your house may be more relevant to your interests right now than people dying in Africa.

My real motivation is to reach 3:25... I am still young; I have a lot of time left in my career.
