Making Quotes

I mean, I've always felt like a lot of people's misconceptions of me have to do with how I grew up. I grew up poor, and I grew up rich. I think some people who have never met me have a misconception that when I was living with my father when he was successful, that I was somehow adversely affected by his success or the money he had and was making at the time.

If we’re not constantly evaluating whether what we’re doing is actually making a difference, then we will fail. Obviously a lot of the tactics have been disruptive. People have blocked highways. In some cities they’ve blocked subways. … I think the highway blocking is fair game. In terms of some of the other stuff, I think most of the time it’s ill-conceived, even if well-meaning. … If you’re walking down the street, and you were to break a car window, you don’t even know who’s car it is, it could be someone who supports you.

I’ll be dead myself then. Successful incompetents are what I need.

That is what we have been feinting towards for a year of our lives: pretending like it was going to happen, acting like it was going to happen, and making you think it was going to happen. I like to work from the back forward.
