I guess darkness serves a purpose: to show us that there is redemption through chaos. I believe in that. I think that's the basis of Greek mythology.

I love Greek mythology, I love gladiators, I love war stuff.

I don't believe that wishing works. I think we get the things we work for.

I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism.

They sent forth men to battle, But no such men return; And home, to claim their welcome, Come ashes in an urn

I don't know if I believe in luck. I think I'm very fortunate.
