I want to be around people who dream and support and do things.

Change the world by being yourself.

We need to remember what's important in life: friends, waffles, work. Or waffles, friends, work, it doesn't matter. But work is third.

Continue to share your heart with people even if it's been broken.

Symmetry is pleasing but not as sexy. Einstein is cool but Picasso knows what I'm talking about.

There's power in looking silly and not caring that you do.

I just love bossy women. I could be around them all day. To me, bossy is not a pejorative term at all. It means somebody's passionate and engaged and ambitious and doesn't mind leading.

If your career is a bad boyfriend, it is healthy to remember you can always leave and go sleep with somebody else.

Sometimes painful things can teach us lessons that we didn't think we needed to know.

Find a group of people who challenge and inspire you, spend a lot of time with them, and it will change your life.

You never know what's around the corner unless you peek. Hold someone's hand while you do it. You will feel less scared.

...choosing words is harder than I thought.

Scientists are not delinquents. Our work has changed the conditions in which men live, but the use made of these changes is the problem of governments, not of scientists.

I was raised by a single dad. Dad's idea of hanging out with your kid or day care was give her $20 in quarters, drop her at the arcade, and tell her not to talk to strangers.

You can't just sit around and watch life pass you by. You have to keep dreaming. Sonny taught me that, and I intend to do him proud.

Fundamentally not to waste energy. If we were all to reduce our demands for energy, it would make an enormous amount of difference.

You must try, the voice said, to become colder. I understood at once. It's like the bodies of gods: cast in bronze, braced in stone. Only something heartless could bear the full weight.

Before people figured out I was funny, I got cast quite a bit as either a rapist or serial killer or the guy who catches those people.

One of the most important reasons for studying history is that virtually every stupid idea that is in vogue today has been tried before and proved disastrous before, time and again.

There is only one redeeming thing about this whole election. It will be over at sundown, and let everybody pray that it's not a tie, for we couldn't go through with this thing again.
