18. Favorite movie quote:
"I don't know who you are. I don't know what you want. If you are looking for ransom, I can tell you I don't have money. But what I do have are a very particular set of skills, skills I have acquired over a very long career. Skills that make me a nightmare for people like you. If you let my daughter go now, that'll be the end of it. I will not look for you, I will not pursue you. But if you don't, I will look for you, I will find you, and I will kill you." – Taken
"If the roots are not severed, all is well--and all will be well--in the garden." --Being There
"In the old days a wind would blow down through the canyons. It blew the strongest before dawn, across the point. My friends and I would sleep in our cars and the smell of the offshore wind would often wake us, and each morning we knew this would be a special day." --Big Wednesday
"Badly done, Emma. Badly done." --Emma
"I have to go home."
"You are home." –Almost Famous
"I don't want to sell anything, buy anything, or process anything as a career. I don't want to sell anything bought or processed, or buy anything sold or processed, or process anything sold, bought, or processed, or repair anything sold, bought, or processed. You know, as a career, I don't want to do that." –Say Anything
