I want to make something that's useful to someone, somewhere.

It's hard to make out the difference between insults and bad advice.

Try to keep your mind. Try not to eat bad, try not to wake up with too bad of a hangover.

I think I prefer singing in falsetto. I like the way it sounds. It doesn't sound like my natural voice. It sounds like a character.

America I've given you all and now I'm nothing.

Worship that is in some way divorced from mission is counterfeit worship

Most actors are drawn towards historical tellings because it's one of the most simple forms of storytelling.

See Spot run!' is a perfect sentence in some ways. But I doubt the critics would say it was.

In politics, as in poetry, it is sometimes true that it is darkest before dawn.

If at first you don't succeed, before you try again, stop to figure out what you did wrong.

These things are sent to try us, but why me?
