Garrett Hedlund Quotes

I realised that if you get yourself labeled as the funny one, people don't look any further. I've used that as I've got older. It's controlling: I decide what part of my personality you're seeing.

I'm so old that when I started keeping a diary they were in actual books, and I think that's one the reasons that I've never written about sex.
