Nobody got anything great by playing it safe.

The expected is what keeps us steady. It's the unexpected that changes our lives forever.

The best stories are often true...The narrative of human life is most beautiful when told truthfully and without boundaries.

You literally can shoot someone in the face on television and a 7-year-old can watch it. But you can't show the slight of a man's hip, because dear God, someone might think of sex. And while we all hope our kids grow up to have sex, we do not hope they grow up to shoot someone in the face.

You never know the biggest day of your life is your biggest day, not until it’s happening. You don’t recognize the biggest day of your life, not until you’re right in the middle of it. The day you commit to something or someone. The day you get your heart broken. The day you meet your soul mate. The day you realize there’s not enough time because you wanna live forever. Those are the biggest days. The perfect days.

My parents created a world in which the only ­barrier to your success is your own imagination.

I cannot keep track and lots of great shows go unnoticed.
