“A samurai should always be prepared for death - whether his own or someone else's.”
“It is rare for people to say they want to be held accountable, but in reality, everyone wants everyone else to be held accountable.”
“Humor is an almost physiological response to fear.”
“I was working in theater, so I didn't get to go to my prom.”
“Whether or not we believe in survival of consciousness after death, reincarnation, and karma, it has very serious implications for our behavior.”
“I have never been jealous. Not even when my dad finished fifth grade a year before I did.”
“There is no limit to what you can imagine. And with commitment, with effort, what you can imagine you can become. Put your mind to work for you. Believe that you can do it. The world will tell you that you can't. Yet, in your belief you'll find the strength, you'll find the ability, to do it anyway.”
“Extreme hopes are born from extreme misery.”
