writing thinking ideas
The writers are writing human beings, and they're writing about the human condition and how difficult it is to function in that condition. I think it's one of the charms of the show, the idea of redemption and working towards becoming better people, for everybody involved.

I feel like a nuclear missile. Point me in that direction, I'll go.
kindness cat cities
I love Philadelphia. I was shocked at what a great city this is. For me, it is the cat's pajamas. I love everything about it. I love where I live. I love the people. I have been met with such kindness and affection here.

Throughout the course of my life, I've been blessed to work with extremely talented people.

The fact he is one of the top keepers in Britain at the age of 22 speaks volumes for him as keepers don't normally reach their prime until they are about 26 or 27 years old.

The fact is it was most likely kids.
anybody believe habit overcomes seemingly
The creative act, the defeat of habit by originality, overcomes everything. And I really believe that. And what I try to teach young people, or anybody in any creative field, is that every idea should seemingly be outrageous.

The fact that Don was hit by a car while he was trying to go to the aid of another motorist is so symbolic, so Don.
