“The mind is a machine that is constantly asking: What would I prefer? Close your eyes, refuse to move, and watch what your mind does. What it does is become discontent with that-which-is. A desire arises, you satisfy that desire, and another arises in its place.” MindDoeEyeMovingDesireWatchesMachinesAskingRefuseAriseDiscontent Book:The Brain-Dead Megaphone Source: The Brain-Dead Megaphone
“Press junkets are incredibly annoying. You sit in a chair for three to six hours and have different journalists shuttle in for three minutes at a time, asking cheesy movie questions to get a quick sound bite - and that's their only objective.

It's pressure, constant pressure.” DifferentMovingThreeSoundHoursMinutesSixPressureAskingPressesConstantStuckObjectivesJournalistChairsBitesAnnoyingCheesySound Bites Author:Annabella Sciorra
“I have this table in my new house. They put this table in without asking. It was some weird nouveau riche marble table, and I hated it. But it was literally so heavy that it took a crane to move it. We would try to set up different things around it, but it never really worked. I realized that table was my ego. No matter what you put around it, under it, no matter who photographed it, the douchebaggery would always come through.” TryingDifferentMatterMovingHouseEgoAskingNo Matter WhatTablesHeavyI RealizedHatedDifferent ThingsMarbleCranesNouveau Riche Author:Kanye West
“I, as a storyteller, was asking questions no one in science had apparently asked. What happens in a nest of tyrannosaurs? They're precocial, meaning when they hatch, they're ready to feed and move about. My questions are "Hmm, if there's a nest of tyrannosaurs, and there's three siblings that survive, would they try to eat each other?"” IfsTryingHappensMovingThreeReadyAskingStorytellerSiblingNestsAsking QuestionsHmmThree Siblings Author:Stephen R.
