“I know all about dreams that make you want to scream.”

“I keep feeling like everyone wants me to apologize for something.”

“I swear, sometimes it feels like there's this monkey in my head who runs around turning the dials and changing channels on me. One minute I'm sitting around eating chocolate chip cookies and then all of a sudden I'm thinking about bears.”

“If you ever manage to become perfect, you have to die instantly before you ruin things for everyone else.”

“Personally, I think they killed the bear because they were afraid of it. That s what people do, kill the things they re afraid of.”

“It’s a really crappy feeling to realise that your entire outlook on life can be controlled by some little pill.”

“I mean, how do you know if people are good for you or not? It's not like they come with an FDA approved sticker or anything.”
