After three years of reading youtube comments, I found one that didn’t make me want to puke and kill myself. Some kid, talking to another kid underneath a music video: “first things first buddy, no matter how hard you try i guarantee you wont change the way anyone thinks or acts.” If I could put that thought in everyone’s head on a loop, I could save the world. But, like the kid says, I can’t.

"If you are always unhappy, you’re doing it wrong. If people don’t like you, but you wished they liked you, so your solution is to pretend you don’t wish they liked you, or that you don’t like them, you’re doing it wrong. If you hate everything; if you can’t even stop complaining about the things you LIKE, you’re doing it wrong. If you don’t know you’re right until you hear it from someone else, but you think you’re going to change the world, one of those two things has got to give."

"I think the most important thing you can know is that you want to be a part of all the other individuals. You don’t want to be alone. There’s a personality disorder for every single thing you can name under the sun. There are people who put entire jars of peanut butter up their butt. There are people who are sexually attracted to cats. But there is no one who wants to be alone."

"I can’t find the quote anywhere, but somebody told me a Quentin Tarantino quote, something along the lines of “Audiences are geniuses, and individuals are idiots.” I have to be really careful, because I have nothing but love for this entity known as “the customer” in entertainment. I would never, ever, ever put myself above them and say, “They don’t get it, but it’s funny, believe me.” If they’re not laughing, I’m doing my job wrong. Period."

"The answer is always follow your bliss. Always follow your bliss. Find your voice. Shout it from the rooftops. Keep doing it until the people who are looking for you find you. Stay put."

People often ask me about what constitutes a nerd-friendly show - like, does it have to have sci-fi elements? But I think it’s just a show that satisfies the secret craving we all have to be obsessed with something and not feel at all stupid about it.

I wish that television would stop selling our hatred of ourselves, and start seducing us with our love of ourselves.

Take it easy. Nothing you do matters as much as you think. Your greatest achievements aren’t yours at all, they’re accidents and jokes. You’re a puppet, the universe does the work, and it gets the most done when you’re moving the least. Surrender, flow, relax. Don’t be hard on yourself, don’t put pressure on yourself, life is just a chain of experiments and results, and you’ll be perfect when you’re dead.

The way I see it, every life is a pile of good things and bad things. Good things don’t always soften the bad things, but vice versa, the bad things don’t necessarily spoil the good things or make them unimportant.
