"I guess I've always wanted to create my own stories, but writing was one of those things where I thought that I would never actually do it.

I'm like, "No, I'm an actor who writes sometimes.""

“The Hindu religion is the only one of the worldâ€™s great faiths dedicated to the idea that the Cosmos itself undergoes an immense, indeed an infinite, number of deaths and rebirths. It is the only religion in which the time scales correspond to those of modern scientific cosmology. Its cycles run from our ordinary day and night to a day and night of Brahma, 8.64 billion years long. Longer than the age of the Earth or the Sun and about half the time since the Big Bang.”
“No family gets rich from earning the minimum wage. In fact, the current minimum wage does not even lift a family out of poverty.”
“Freedom in economic arrangements is itself a component of freedom broadly understood, so economic freedom is an end in itself ... Economic freedom is also an indispensable means toward the achievement of political freedom.”
