“Don't envy those who seems having everything, they don't really have everything. They have what they want and live the life they want but they don't have what they really need.”

“So if reality is all a spell, and you don't really want what you think you want... If you have no free will. You don't really know what you know. You don't really love who you only think you love. What do you have left to live for?”

“I don't have any regrets, really, except that one. I wanted to write about you, about us, really. Do you know what I mean? I wanted to write about everything, the life we're having and the lives we might have had. I wanted to write about all the ways we might have died.”

“There's something impoverished in those who want to really have everything.”

“Is this what it's like to get close to other people--you do something insane together and then you have to share everything even if you don't really want to?”

“You have a class of young men and women, and they want to give their lives to something. Advertising has these people chasing cars and clothes they don't need. Generations have been working in jobs they hate, just so they can buy what they don't really need.”
