  • Narrating over footage of himself at the Chelsea in Episode 2 of An American Family: "Living in New York, I've become more and more aware that there are other things. If someone gave me a ticket it would just be another excuse and it would be so easy to just go back there and go up to Isla Vista Beach and just sit there all summer long, see my old friends and all my old enemies. Seeing enemies is much more interesting than seeing friends ... and I have so many enemies in Santa Barbara. Always, always interesting. But I think that ... you know, New York has so many things that really do interest me or that could interest me that for ... for my own good, I think I'll just have to stay. Even if I really don't want to. In fact I guess I really don't. It is so much easier just to go home. I could get a little job and make everyone happy on a day to day type basis and get a little money and live by myself in my own apartment or something ... but I don't think that's what I really want to do. I've always felt that, to be dedicated to life, you have to be really passionate, and so I never really think anything is just ok, I either love something or I just hate it forever, to death."
  • "Television ate my family."

Famous quotes containing the word quotes:

    “A great man quotes bravely, and will not draw on his invention when his memory serves him with a word as good. What he quotes, he fills with his own voice and humour, and the whole cyclopedia of his table-talk is presently believed to be his own.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “I quote another man’s saying; unluckily, that other withdraws himself in the same way, and quotes me.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)

    “Young people of high school age can actually feel themselves changing. Progress is almost tangible. It’s exciting. It stimulates more progress. Nevertheless, growth is not constant and smooth. Erik Erikson quotes an aphorism to describe the formless forming of it. “I ain’t what I ought to be. I ain’t what I’m going to be, but I’m not what I was.””
    —Stella Chess (20th century)
