Nowadays - and I don't want to make some dopey cultural statement here - everyone can be, just by existing in society, because we all have a ship that we follow. Even if it's other people, like on MySpace pages, we're just as collective of enthusiasts now. That seems to be the world we're in.
Patton OswaltI'm still very much an atheist, except that I don't necessarily see religion as being a bad thing. So, that's a weird thing that I'm struggling with that seems to be offending both atheists and people that are religious.

Patton OswaltI look pretty nondescript. I don't go out of my way to... I don't express my personality with my clothes, with my car or my, you know, house. I express with my personality; so as far as what I wear - I don't really care about that.
Patton OswaltThere's no destination. There's no getting anywhere. There's just the going. The key to life is to make the going really fun. Because people that are like, โIf I just get to this, then boom!โ And then they get there and there's this dawning of an afterwards. Whereas I'm just always in the going. And it's not a frantic going like, โI gotta keep going or I'm gonna go nuts!โ I can not do anything for weeks or months if I need to and just sit and read books or watch movies. I'm just as fine consuming and absorbing new art as I am trying to make it. But it's all in the going.
