Born on August 2nd

"I never wore a single fedora filming 'L.A. Noire.' It took about an hour and a half to do the hair - it was a very precise process."

"To be honest, I owned one suit before I filmed 'Mad Men' - the one suit that you have to have as an adult. Outside of that, I never really felt comfortable in a suit."

"Sure, I like to win when I play basketball or board games or video games, but my day isn't ruined if I lose. I'm always up for a rematch. In all seriousness, that's something that's nice about maturing."

"I feel very competitive with Robert Morse off-set. We often duke it out. He always wins."

"When I was right out of college, I felt competitive with some of the guys in my class over career stuff."

"I never stepped foot into a Brooks Brothers before 'Mad Men.'"

"You want to believe that there's one relationship in life that's beyond betrayal. A relationship that's beyond that kind of hurt. And there isn't."

"I, like most of my friends, couldn't believe I bought a mountain called Misery Mountain, because it was so appropriate."

"I have a grim outlook on the world, and in particular on humanity. Spent years denying it, but I am very misanthropic. And I live alone on a mountain for a reason."

"Every human being must find his own way to cope with severe loss, and the only job of a true friend is to facilitate whatever method he chooses."

"I have to be very careful, however, because I have no intention of providing an excuse for this behavior. It's an attempt to explain how so many women come from backgrounds where the pressure to be a good mother is so severe that if they can't do it, something really snaps."

"I feel horribly vindicated. Three thousand people died who didn't have to die."

"I'm still a firm believer that we were definitely put here to use our minds, and that is what makes us different. And that that's the key. If there is anything that is going to stop mankind from being such a beastly, destructive creature, it is reason."

"I wanted nothing less than to be a fiction writer when I was a kid. If you had told me I would be an artist or novelist when I grew up, I would have laughed in your face."

"I'm a fairly ascetic person. And I do most of my writing at night. You don't get distracted, your brain goes into what you are writing about, into the world you're writing about, rather than into the world you're in."

"I was a pretty angry kid, and I got into military history largely as a way to vent my own anger. As I got older it narrowed down to a more specific focus on individual violence. I'm just trying to understand where it came from."

"Warfare against civilians must never be answered in kind. Terror must never be answered with terror."

"True love bears all, endures all and triumphs!"

"Sincere practice, makes the impossible possible."

"True success, true happiness lies in freedom and fulfillment."

"The farthest place on earth is the hour that is just over. Make the best use of the hour that has just begun!"

"Every week brings to us 10,080 minutes That is our capital. How shall we use it to get the utmost benefit?"

"God has created us and poured love into our hearts so that we may do our best to alleviate the suffering that is around us."

"Marriage is a commitment for life. It is a permanent, lifelong relationship."

"True it is that each of us has only one life - but how many of us 'die a thousand deaths' in fear and nervousness!"

"Philosophy and theology have so much to tell us about God, but people today want to experience God. There is a difference between eating dinner and merely reading the menu."

"What humanity needs today is not merely philosophy or theology, but a message or reassurance."

"The children of today are the builders of a brave, new world - a world without want."

"If you want to be happy, make others happy!"

"Only a fortunate few seek the Beloved. Only a blessed few seek to enter the shrine of the heart."
