I think that there is something beautiful about mortality. It makes our decisions mean more.

Pop is an easy way for evil business people to make a lot of money. But I find myself humming a Christina Aguilera song every once in a while.

The girl I find who wants to talk about quantum theory in a bar is the one I want to marry.

I attribute a scab to the present state of society. The way the scab looks in its worst state is gross and chaotic and horrible, that's now, but when it breaks away, there's a brand new piece of skin that's stronger than before. It's like creation out of chaos.

Too bad the things that make you mad are my favorite things.
