I have a really, really, really normal family. And by normal I mean we're all nuts on some level. I think you've gotta be a little nuts to pursue any kind of creative job. I was also a really good kid. I know that sounds really dull, but I didn't rebel in the traditional sense.

A sense of blessedness comes from a change of heart, not from more blessings.

Henry David Thoreau

If you don't like my movies, don't watch them.

Dario Argento

You always think that 70 is the end of the road: 'Somebody died when they were 73 good life'. You're closer to death, and you better make sure you don't waste too much of your time doing things you don't want to do. No point in saying things you don't believe in.

Ian Mckellen

I don't know what keeps me going. Sometimes I wonder... I think it's just pure perseverance and wanting to succeed and having that burning desire to always have success.

Tanya Tucker

Though we may have desires or bold goals, for whatever reason, most of us don't think we can achieve something beyond what we're qualified to achieve. Why, I ask, do we let reality interfere with our dreams?

Simon Sinek

We had to forgive to survive the labyrinth

John Green

What I took away from reading the Snowden documents was that if the NSA wants in to your computer, it's in. Period.

Bruce Schneier
