If you ask my dad, I’m always the person that found the little bird out of the nest and is trying to put it back or take care of it.

If I’m in Rome for only 48 hours, I would consider it a sin against God to not eat cacio e pepe, the most uniquely Roman of pastas, in some crummy little joint where Romans eat. I’d much rather do that than go to the Vatican. That’s Rome to me.

There are no big problems, there are just a lot of little problems.
I’m selfish, impatient, and a little insecure. I make mistakes, I’m out of control, and at times hard to handle. But if you can’t handle me at my worst, then you sure as hell don’t deserve me at my best.
The world is full of abundance and opportunity, but far too many people come to the fountain of life with a sieve instead of a tank car… a teaspoon instead of a steam shovel. They expect little and as a result they get little.

Behold I do not give lectures or a little charity, When I give I give myself.
When I was a little kid we had a sand box. It was a quicksand box. I was an only child… eventually.

My mom speaks English – she moved to England in the ’70s, so she’s fluent in English. We use to speak in Spanish when I was a kid all the time, me and my mom. But when I went to boarding school, I kind of lost it a little bit.
That best portion of a man’s life, his little, nameless, unremembered acts of kindness and love.

Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something. It seemed obvious to them after a while. That’s because they were able to connect experiences they’ve had and synthesize new things.
I am sure of nothing so little as my own intentions.
Sometimes a little comfort food can go a long way.
