I was a regular dork. I was a kid who was scrawny and all that, and probably kind of dumb or something. I wasn't unordinary; I wasn't extraordinary.

I think perfect dates involve walking a lot, and not a bunch of driving around in cars. Ideally, you can walk together and go to a restaurant.

I suppose, if someone was into baseball for an extended period of time during their formative years, they're always going to be interested in it.

I tend to [have] a lot of ideas but then just leave them in that infant form and kind of move on.

I do like talking with friends about big concepts, you know, the stuff that will ruin a party. To me, the party hasn't begun until we're talking about the nonexistence of God.

My dad and I get into it all the time. He loves to discuss politics much more than I do and we have pretty heated conversations.

The love you have for your kids is so overwhelmingly powerful that it alters your perspective. The dark things going on in the world become very poignant and vivid.
