Canada has a passive-aggressive culture, with a lot of sarcasm and righteousness. That went with my weird messianic complex. The ego is a fascinating monster. I was taught from a young age that I had to serve, so that turned into me thinking I had to save the planet.

Even in high school, I had friends that I didn't know were gay until years later. I'd find out on Facebook or something and be like, 'Oh, that explains some things,' or 'Wow, no wonder they were so cool.'

The truth that is suppressed by friends is the readiest weapon of the enemy.

Robert Louis Stevenson

I love it when people doubt me. It makes me work harder to prove them wrong.

Derek Jeter

Exploitation and oppression is not a matter of race. It is the system, the apparatus of world-wide brigandage called imperialism, which made the Powers behave the way they did.

Tom Vilsack

Four hours of prosthetics every morning, the jowls and the nose, and it was very hot so they're having to attend to it all day, and you're still petrified of so many things, such as, can I speak properly? Hitchcock never quite lost those East End vowels, even though he had the softened California consonants.

Toby Jones

My story is the story of countless millions of children whose families and nations were torn apart for money in the name of Jesus Christ.

Sinead O'Connor

Eating is not merely a material pleasure. Eating well gives a spectacular joy to life and contributes immensely to goodwill and happy companionship. It is of great importance to the morale.

Elsa Schiaparelli

I don't travel anywhere without the PS3 and XBox. There's nothing better to do on long bus trips while on tour.

Soulja Boy

If you live to be a hundred, I want to live to be a hundred minus one day so I never have to live without you.
