-Stephenie Meyer: Her vampires are sparkly, which I think we can all agree is wrong.
-Children see magic because they look for it.
-You can't just go around blurting out the truth like a prophet with Tourette's syndrome.
-People love the parents who beat their kids in department stores. It’s the ones who just let their kids wreak havoc that everybody hates.
-It's easier to keep a secret if people think you're crazy
-So I'm like getting some perspective now - like when you're a kid and you think it sucks that you have to eat hydrogenated peanut butter on your PBJ, and then you see one of those starving commercials kids with flies in their eyes, who don't even have a sandwich - and you're all, 'Well, that sucks.

-Everyone thinks that it was the big strong caveman who got the girl, and for the most part, that may have been true, but physical strength doesn't explain how our species created civilization. I think there was always some scrawny dreamer sitting at the edge of the firelight, who had the ability to imagine dangers, to look into the future in his imagination and see possibilities, and therefore survived to pass his genes on to the next generation. When the big ape men ended up running off the cliff or getting killed while trying to beat a mastodon into submission with a stick, the dreamer was standing back thinking 'Hey, that might work, but you need to run the mastodon off the cliff.' And, then he'd mate with the women left over after the go-getters got killed.
