And even if one perhaps isn't interested in it, the world itself is much too interested for one to find the peace and quiet necessary to be as thoroughly bored with the world as it ultimately deserves.

Similarly, I think Iโm lucky that Iโve never had a crisis about whether the only reason Iโm successful is because Iโm crazy hot. Itโs not something that crosses my mind.

Josh BrolinYou know, I think I understand what you're like now. You're very beautiful and you think men are only interested in you because you're beautiful. But you want them to be interested in you because you're you. The problem is, aside from all that beauty, you're not very interesting. You're rude, you're hostile, you're sullen, you're withdrawn... oh, I know- you want someone to look past all that at the real person underneath.

Ben BradleeIf the government doesn't fund education, which they often don't, students are going to stay home and not go to school. It affects them directly.

And that became an obsession to me - just figuring out how - who are the ancestors of whatever it is.
