“Happy relationships are boring. We all want them in our own life. But I don’t want to watch them on TV.”

I really love storytelling, and I love the stories as they reveal themselves. It’s an incredibly nourishing process; it’s probably the closest I come to having a religion.

It’s also easy to look at them as a metaphor for a shadow organization that says one thing and has a completely different agenda on their mind, and anybody who gets in their way, they just get rid of them. Does that sound familiar?

I certainly believe that what we perceive as humans is just the tip of the iceberg.

That’s the day I realized that there was this entire life behind things, and this incredibly benevolent force that wanted me to know there was no reason to be afraid, ever.

Life is suffering. We have desires and expectations and egos, and we compare the reality we have, which is miraculous and wondrous, with this reality we desire.

I felt pride, wonderful pride, when I was captain. It was an honour to take over from Labby. Anybody who has ever captained a big club, which Everton are, will tell you it’s a great honour.

I would say try to tell stories that you care about as opposed to stories that you think will sell.

For me, the thing that I love is that it’s all about the present moment.

It’s a great thing when you realize you still have the ability to surprise yourself.

Beauty is in the strangest places. A piece of garbage floating in the wind. And that beauty exists in America. It exists everywhere. You have to develop an eye for it and be able to see it.

Makes you wonder what else you can do that you’ve forgotten about.

Sometimes there’s so much beauty in the world, I feel like I can’t take it, and my heart is going to cave in.

We don’t have any real sense of community anymore.

I’m from the South, so while I personally find it impossible to live there, I still have a fondness for it as a geographical region.

Sometimes I feel like I’m seeing it all at once and it’s too much. My heart fills up like a balloon that’s about to burst.

I would be so bored if that was the case. There would be no journey. There would be nothing to discover.

It will never be perfect, but perfect is overrated. Perfect is boring on live TV.

I couldn’t really picture a world without music. It would be quite boring.

Well, visual language is another boring discussion about the nature of film.

We had meetings throughout the day and the girls had to play outside the office while mummy went to ‘boring’ meetings.

So boring you fall asleep halfway through her name.

It’s so funny when people who are not used to making movies get into it. You just can’t believe how insufferably boring it is.

That was how Ren turned my boring life into an illusion, and that was too much for no matter how hard i tried, it seemed I could never catch him.

Doing anything when you’re bored is very very boring. Anyway, doing nothing is the point of being bored.
