“Everybody wants to be somebody fancy. Even if they're shy.”

“The whole idea of everybody wanting to be somebody new was an important insight in terms of liking God”

“Everybody wants to be fancy and new. Nobody wants to be themselves. I mean, maybe people want to be themselves, but they want to be different, with different clothes or shorter hair or less fat. It's a fact. If there was a guy who just liked being himself and didn't want to be anybody else, that guy would be the most different guy in the world and everybody would want to be him.”

“Everybody has to leave, everybody has to leave their home and come back so they can love it again for all new reasons.”

“Humans are designed to seek comfort and order, and so if they have comfort and order, they tend to plant themselves, even if their comfort isn't all that comfortable. And even if they secretly want for something better.”

“...sometimes you have to watch somebody love something before you can love it yourself...”

“Book of Ecclesiastes, God is saying...Write a good story, take somebody with you and let me help”
