I grew up in Chicago, so I've always been a Bears fan. Dad used to take me to Bears games and Cubs games. My brother used to ride me over to Lake Forest College on his Honda Supersport and we'd watch the Bears practice. I remember those guys out there as monsters - they were the biggest things I've ever seen!

Ruin is a gift. Ruin is the road to transformation.

Elizabeth Gilbert

A writer who writes, I am alone... can be considered rather comical. It is comical for a man to recognize his solitude by addressing a reader and by using methods that prevent the individual from being alone. The word alone is just as general as the word bread. To pronounce it is to summon to oneself the presence of everything the word excludes.

Barbara Boxer

I direct with energy. I believe in energy. I think energy is an electric thing in actors. I try to inspire, encourage, and make choices with lots of energy. And truth. I'm big fan of truth and being funny. I like leading 50 people into battle every day.

Matthew Lillard

Every job leaves its residue, a bit of extra knowledge, a new skill-set.

Joel Edgerton

Some infinities are bigger than other infinities.

John Green

The only thing I know of whose shortened form — www — takes three times longer to say than what it's short for.

Douglas Adams
