Philip Seymour Hoffman Quotes

I have to stay positive and try to find time to do what I want to do while working at the same time.

Nobody is going to tell me that I can't do three games in a week. No one is going to tell me that I can't do it well. I'm going to work really hard at it. I get bored if I don't have 10,000 things on my plate.
