The fact is that violence gives you a rush.

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.

Believing there's no God stops me from being solipsistic. I can read ideas from all different people from all different cultures. Without God, we can agree on reality, and I can keep learning where I'm wrong. We can all keep adjusting, so we can really communicate.

How I was brought up and my imaginary friend means more to me than anything you can ever say or do.

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

The end never justifies the means because there is no end; there are only means.

If you want to turn out an atheist child, unconditional love constantly is a good way to do it.
