You can’t let your failures define you. You have to let your failures teach you.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we've been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.

One of the things I would love to do is Axe Cop, which is a comic book. I would like to be involved in Axe Cop someday. I would also love to be in a Western.

You know what it is you smell on him, Haven? Testosterone. It's leaking out of his pores.

You cheat yourself when you don't do what it is you're supposed to do. You have an obligation to learn everything that you can.

It was a show. Everyone played their parts masterfully.
