My mom was an actress in the local Seattle theater doing experimental plays. – Rainn Wilson
My brain is so anxiety-prone, like a pinball machine. If I dont get up in the morning and focus my thinking, my breathing, and my being for about 12 minutes, Im just a screwball all day long. – Rainn Wilson

There is a story, which is fairly well known, about when the missionaries came to Africa. They had the Bible and we, the natives, had the land. They said “Let us pray,” and we dutifully shut our eyes. When we opened them, why, they now had the land and we had the Bible. – Desmond M. Tutu, “Religious Human Rights and the Bible”
