"We must discover how to ask simple questions of ourselves."

-- John Ralston Saul

“The one ironclad rule is that I have to try. I have to walk into my writing room and pick up my pen every weekday morning”
“People who are cognitively busy are also more likely to make selfish choices, use sexist language, and make superficial judgments in social situations.”
“All of my roles have had their own unique set of challenges, and I enjoy that in some perverse, masochistic way. Iâ€™m always dying though! Maybe I have some kind of fetish.”
“My biggest hobby is hanging out with my family and kids.”
“The only thing that differentiates you and me from a couple of fourteen year old pyromaniacs is balistic glass!”
“As a sick kid, I always looked out the window. The objects of my observation were the sun, the seasons, the wind, crazy people, and my grandfather's death. During my long period of observation, I felt that something like poems were filling up my body.”
“What unimaginable luxury, never to wrestle with whether or why, never to lie awake nights wondering what if”
“Thank you, Rukia... Because of you, the rain has stopped falling.”
