1422nd.


"I once hand made a girlfriend a 50 page leather bound book. It was an illustrated fairy tale about a princess and an eccentric magician. The magician had his heart broken so badly in the past that instead of keeping it in his chest where it could easily get hurt again, he kept it locked up in a rusty trunk under his bed, where it has withered into a shriveled apricot. A lot happens that can't really be summed up in one paragraph, but at the end, his apricot heart swells to the size of a house and they end up living happily ever after inside of it. It took me about a month to make, it was all rhyming, hand painted ... something I was pretty gosh darn proud of. I really poured a lot into it, and I think it's filled with some of my best paintings yet. Sadly in real life the story didn't end as it did in the book. Let's just say I'm living alone in that giant apricot heart at the moment. I also once gave a girl a bloody fake ear in a Tiffany jewelry box with a letter that said, "Will you Gogh to prom with me." So yeah, I guess I'm a romantic." - Matthew Gray Gubler

"The (500) Days of Summer attitude of 'He wants you so bad' seems attractive to some women and men, especially younger ones, but I would encourage anyone who has a crush on my character to watch it again and examine how selfish he is. He develops a mildly delusional obsession over a girl onto whom he projects all these fantasies. He thinks she'll give his life meaning because he doesn't care about much else going on in his life. A lot of boys and girls think their lives will have meaning if they find a partner who wants nothing else in life but them. That's not healthy. That's falling in love with the idea of a person, not the actual person." - Joseph Gordon-Levitt

"I want a soul mate who can sit me down, shut me up, tell me ten things I don't already know, and make me laugh. I don't care what you look like, just turn me on. And if you can do that, I will follow you on bloody stumps through the snow. I will nibble your mukluks with my own teeth. I will do your windows. I will care about your feelings. Just have something in there." - Henry Rollins
