Two, Same, Said

Beauty, Truth, Yourself

Politics, Truth, Words

George A. Romero

Great, Society, Opinion

I came up with the term 'mindfreak' because I didn't like the word 'magician.' I felt like I wanted to coin a term that would be basically the reaction to my art. It would be a mindfreak and so that's why I came up with that. But, many people say I'm really a student of humanity and psychology.
Criss Angel

Art, Humanity, Why

I'm a guy who has problems with moderation. All or nothing. Binge and purge. Kill or be killed. Gray is not a color I wear well. I should be dead. I know that. I should not be successful. I know that too. My daily existence is a toss of the coin - one side, fear, the other side, gratitude.
Kurt Sutter

Fear, Successful, Gratitude
