You know, when I was a kid waiting on the bus, I remember that was when I imagined my life. I imagined everything that I was gonna be when I grew up and I imagined all of these amazing journeys and amazing people Id meet. Of course, all of it has kind of come to fruition. – Glen Hansard
If you dont mark your successes, the day your ship comes in could be just another day at the office, and theres no poetry in that. – Glen Hansard

Its been such a deep and amazing journey for me, getting close to John Keats, and also I love Shelley and Byron. I mean, the thing about the Romantic poets is that theyve got the epitaph of romantic posthumously. They all died really young, and Keats, the youngest of them all. – Jane Campion
With The Host, I think the actors could be really big names. That would be cool.

Imagine the interplay. – Stephenie Meyer
