Favorite Quotes:
The true measure of a man is how he treats someone who can do him absolutely no good.
~Samuel Johnson
“I hear a lot of words like “beauty” and “handsomeness” and “incredibly chiseled features.” To me that’s like a vanity, a self-absorbtion that I try to steer clear of. I dig the bungee. For me, it’s just the way I live my life. I grip it and I rip it. I live it with a lot of flair. I live it on the edge, where I gotta be. I wasn’t like every other kids you know who dreams about being and astronaut. I was always more interested in aaaaa… what bark was made out of on a tree. Richard Gere’s a real hero of mine. Sting. Sting would be another person who’s a hero. The music that he’s created over the years – I don’t really listen to it. But the fact that he’s making it, I respect that. I care desperately about what I do. Do I know what product I’m selling? No. Do I know what I’m doing today? No. But I’m here and I’m gonna give it my best shot.”
~Hansel (Zoolander)
