• In my early 20s I was so miserable doing construction, I wanted something that paid money. I liked nice stuff. I liked cars and architecture, and things that cost money. I wanted to not swing a hammer, and make money… and not do stuff that was dirty. I attempted to get into comedy. I started to do stand-up, but I wasn’t very good at it.

• Failure is just part of the process, and it's not just okay; it's better than okay. God doesn't want failure to shut us down. God didn't make it a three-strikes-and-you're-out sort of thing. It's more about how God helps us dust ourselves off so we can swing for the fences again. And all of this without keeping a meticulous record of our screw-ups.

• Si el sistema financiero tiene un defecto, es que refleja y magnifica cómo somos los seres humanos. El dinero amplifica nuestra tendencia a reaccionar de forma exagerada, a pasar de la exuberancia cuando las cosas van bien a una profunda depresión cuando van mal. Los auges y las crisis son producto, en el fondo, de nuestra volatilidad emocional.

• One of the stall doors swings open and a fortyish-year-old woman walks out tucking her shirt into her jeans. Her heavy lined eyes land on Seth. "This is the women's restroom." She points a finger to the door. "Can't you read?" "Can't you see that everyone in this club is about twenty years younger than you?" Seth retorts, turning to the mirror.

• He was decisive and wholehearted in everything he did, so intent on the task at hand that he never looked over his shoulder, even if his cloak got caught in a thorny bush. When he did turn to speak to somebody, he used to swing his entire body and address him full face. When he shook hands, he was never the first to withdraw his own. He inspired such confidence that he was known as al-Amin, the Reliable One.

• ¿Qué es lo que hace saltar la chispa del humor en un hombre? Es el esfuerzo por deshacerse, por luchar contra la carga de dolor que pesa sobre cada uno de nosotros. En la juventud no lo sentimos, pero a medida que crecemos hasta la edad adulta encontramos la carga sobre nuestros hombros. ¿El humor? Es el esfuerzo de la naturaleza por armonizar las condiciones. Cuanto más se balancea el péndulo sobre el dolor, más se balancea sobre la alegría.

• I recognize that Hollywood is not about seniority. Often it's not even a meritocracy. It's about what you did yesterday. You have a couple of misses, and suddenly it's impossible to find a hit. So the swings are gigantic. But I've always understood it as such, and navigated it as such.
