"There’s something to be said about a glass half full. About knowing when to say when. I think it’s a floating line. A barometer of need and desire. It’s entirely up to the individual. And depends on what’s bein"

"You don’t create a culture. Culture happens. It’s the by-product of consistent behavior. If you encourage people to share, and you give them the freedom to share, then sharing will be built into your culture. If you reward trust then trust will be built into your culture."

"Nothing is original. Steal from anywhere that resonates with inspiration or fuels your imagination. Devour old films, new films, music, books, paintings, photos, poems, dreams, random conversations, architecture, bridges, street signs, trees, clouds, bodies of water, light and shadows. Select only things to steal from that speak directly to your soul. If you do this, your work (and theft) will be authentic. Authenticity is invaluable; originality is non-existent. And don’t bother concealing your thievery—celebrate it if you feel like it. In any case, always remember what Jean-Luc Godard said: ‘It’s not where you take things from—it’s where you take them to."

"Children don’t choose their parents,” he once said to me. “They don’t even choose to be born. It’s parents who foist life on their kids, so it’s the parents’ responsibility to provide for them. Kids don’t owe their parents anything. Their duty will be to their own kids."

"If you love someone, you should love them for who they are.
both the good and the bad
because you cannot choose who you love. you should try to encourage them,
support them
to becoming a better person in their life. consider what is best for them
but be patient, because life is not a race.
let them grow to decide at their own pace
but don’t give up or abandon them by thinking they’ll never change because people are like flowers.
and if you show them the right love, they will flourish;
not too much water otherwise they will drown
and not too little otherwise they will starve
but just enough, so that they can be themselves and beautiful. massage them when they are tired
strawberry ice cream when they’ve done well
and if at the end of the day,
they love you back
then you are truly blessed. but whatever the outcome,
if you can love someone like this,
then I think life will have been worth living."

"Twitter makes me love people I’ve never met and Facebook makes me hate people I know in real life."
