We don't read and write poetry because it's cute. We read and write poetry because we are members of the human race. And the human race is filled with passion. Medicine, law, business, engineering: these are noble pursuits and necessary to sustain life. But poetry, beauty, romance, love...these are what we stay alive for.

I'm not going to sit here and say I'm a role model or anything, but I do think I have a responsibility.

那些无法掌控主导他们生活的故事的人，无法重述、重新思考、解构、嘲笑并随着变化而改变它的人，真正是无力的，因为他们无法思考新的思想。

The pursuit of knowledge is a journey without end, but each step brings its own rewards.

I don't think about age. People who tell me I'm too old to do something, I just ignore them.

我认为最好的电影是那些挑战你、让你思考、让你有所感受的电影。
