Art is why I get up in the morning but my definition ends there. You know I don't think its fair that I'm living for something I can't even define.

The buildings that I build very often have a dreamlike reality. I don't mean by that they have a fantasy quality at all, in fact quite the reverse. They contain in some degree the ingredients that give dreams their power... stuff that's very close to us.

Christopher Alexander

If I can make a teacher's salary doing comedy, I think that's better than being a teacher.

Dave Chappelle

Fame, we may understand, is no sure test of merit, but only a probability of such; it is an accident, not a property of man.

Thomas Carlyle

God alone knows the future, but only an historian can alter the past.

Ambrose Bierce

I don't have a single complete show or movie or anything else that I could look at and say, 'Nailed that one.' But endless dissatisfaction is, I suppose, what gets us out of bed in the morning.

Hugh Laurie

I probably have the worst wardrobe. It's the most ill-fitting with the worst patterns and colors and the most nipple rubbage. There's bad chafing, and it's always tight in all the wrong places. What's sad is that I'm kinda getting used to it.

Josh Hopkins

I'm sure we'll be Tweetin' up the Twitosphere as we travel around the world playing music.

Brandon Boyd

And of course I didn't make any money from stand up for years, so I had temp jobs. That was the way I made money.

Demetri Martin

Take a chance! All life is a chance. The man who goes farthest is generally the one who is willing to do and dare.

Dale Carnegie

It's really easy to avoid the tabloids. You just live your life and don't hang out with famous people who are in the tabloids. Don't do anything controversial and be a normal person. Have friends. And get a job and keep working.

Amanda Seyfried

When one has come to accept a certain course as duty he has a pleasant sense of relief and of lifted responsibility, even if the course involves pain and renunciation. It is like obedience to some external authority; any clear way, though it lead to death, is mentally preferable to the tangle of uncertainty.

Charles Horton Cooley

These are my new shoes. They're good shoes. They won't make you rich like me, they won't make you rebound like me, they definitely won't make you handsome like me. They'll only make you have shoes like me. That's it.
