I never wanted to be a magician. I never wanted to be a comedian. I never wanted to be onstage.

Behaving morally because of a hope of reward or a fear of punishment is not morality.

I love nuts. I'm for nuts. I am nuts.

One of the strongest feelings you can get in life--one of the most rewarding feelings--is the feeling of an "Aha, I finally understand."

There is this tremendous amount of arrogance and hubris, where somebody can look at something for five minutes and dismiss it. Whether you talk about gaming or 20th century classical music, you can't do it in five minutes. You can't listen to 'The Rite of Spring' once and understand what Stravinsky was all about.

Hypocrisy is annoying but not evil. Someone who says one thing and does another has doubled their chances of being half right.
