Shoot for the stars, but if you happen to miss, shoot for the moon instead - either way you'll soon run out of breathable air.

If I could save time in a bottle, I wouldn't. I lose things - like all the time. Plus, bottles? Bottles break. Also, what if it gets stolen? Some thief out there having the time of my life? No thank you.

Welcome to LA. Nobody has driven to LAX since either the pandemic or Uber.

I have learned to say “double americano hot” when all I want in life right now is a plain old cup of black coffee.

Just as a painting of a pipe is not an actual pipe (René Magritte) and the map is not the territory (Alfred Korzybski), so too the people you see (and hear) on tv, podcasts, or movies are only representations.

"The Treachery of Images" is a 1929 painting by Belgian surrealist painter René Magritte. The painting shows an image of a pipe. Below it, Magritte painted, "Ceci n'est pas une pipe" which is French for "This is not a pipe".

Wow, I'd love it if Statham started doing Tommy on the West End.

Jason Statham seems to be stuck in a strange time loop where he keeps making the same movie over and over.

The peas are filled with...
