July 13 Birthdays

I'm an assistant storyteller. It's like being a waiter or a gas-station attendant, but I'm waiting on six million people a week, if I'm lucky.

I love cartoons, I love comic books and graphic novels. Batman: The Animated Series was a huge influence on me when I was younger.

I think that we should take the tragedy that happened in Newtown and have a full comprehensive dialogue about all issues, whether it has to do with mental health, whether it has to do with the social decline of our young people and some of the things that they are exposed to, whether it has to do with the firearms and guns.

I've always protected myself when it comes to love. And maybe that's the problem. By not letting myself get hurt now, it ripples into much bigger pain later.

Culture is an instrument wielded by professors to manufacture professors, who when their turn comes will manufacture professors.

Legalism says God will love us if we change. The gospel says God will change us because He loves us.

I found the poems in the fields. And only wrote them down.

The greatest threat to freedom is the absence of criticism.

I am not the archetypal leading man. This is mainly for one reason: as you may have noticed, I have no hair.

Ball handling and dribbling are my strongest weaknesses.
