All I ever wanted really, and continue to want out of life, is to give 100 percent to whatever I'm doing and to be committed to whatever I'm doing and then let the results speak for themselves.

One of the reasons inequality gets so deep in this country is that everyone wants to be rich. That's the American ideal.

This is the most intimate relationship between literature and its readers: they treat the text as a part of themselves, as a possession. ↗

I've also seen that great men are often lonely. This is understandable, because they have built such high standards for themselves that they often feel alone. But that same loneliness is part of their ability to create. ↗

There are many facts showing that Putin's people enriched themselves by using power mechanisms so that's why for them losing power means losing their fortunes. ↗

It sounds gross to say that I like myself more. But not everyone likes themselves that much. Especially in the comedy world. ↗
