I don't believe that life is linear. I think of it as circles - concentric circles that connect.

I don't know what my version of a relationship or marriage is yet, because the typical model seems a little broken to me.

I like to do weird things in the shower, like drink my coffee, brush my teeth and drink a smoothie. It's good time management.

I want to be like water. I want to slip through fingers, but hold up a ship.

You saw me before I saw you. You had that look in your eyes, as if you wanted something. Wanted it for a long time.

We are the safest large city in America, but any crime rate is too high.

I don't date women my age. There aren't any.

How many seemingly impossible things have been accomplished by resolute men because they had to do, or die?
