With silly stuff, it's seventy-five percent confidence. I always tell people that it's because I'm nervous about getting that next laugh and I need to hear it. I always want to condense a joke. ↗

When I was a kid, I liked books that just seemed so dense you could lose yourself in them for a whole afternoon. They were like their own whole world. ↗

Because the quality of living with nature and allowing it to manifest itself is different than the quality of living in a city, especially a dense city. ↗
