I tend to latch on to things pretty obsessively for awhile. I listened to Russian pop music exclusively for almost five years. It's weird.
Beware Those Who Are ALWAYS READING BOOKS
The obstinate Man does not hold Opinions; they hold him.
Fanaticism consists in redoubling your efforts when you have forgotten your aim.
Perfectionism is the voice of the oppressor, the enemy of the people. It will keep you cramped and insane your whole life, and it is the main obstacle between you and a shitty first draft. I think perfectionism is based on the obsessive belief that if you run carefully enough, hitting each stepping-stone just right, you won't have to die. The truth is that you will die anyway and that a lot of people who aren't even looking at their feet are going to do a whole lot better than you, and have a lot more fun while they're doing it.
I have a little obsessive-compulsive personality. You can tell because I played online games for eight hours a day.
Everything has got a place in my house. If something is moved I get a panic attack.
The worst thing that can happen to a man who gambles is to win
I have a slight bit of OCD, I think. I'm not walking around flipping light switches. But when I say I'm going to do something, I have to do it.

When a man has once loved a woman he will do anything for her except continue to love her.
The more you know about something, the harder it becomes. You become more and more of a perfectionist. I think it's a curse... It's a form of illness!
When I do something I have to do it all the way - that goes for music, with a high-hat, a snare drum, a rhyme, everything. I have to push it to the extreme. That's how I realized I have addictive behavior. Somebody told me this once, that the thing that makes me bad is the same thing that makes me good at other things.
Curiosity kills itself; and love is only curiosity, as is proved by its end.
I am essentially an amateur medecin, and this to me is almost a mania.
Jealousy is always born with love, but does not die with it. In jealousy there is more of self-love than of love to another.
So he stalked her again. Love makes hunters of us all.
Power is a disease one has no desire to be cured of.
I've come across people referring to themselves as 'Vine famous.' Some of them started out by putting up Vines just for fun, then all of a sudden they get a bunch of fans, and a week later their Vines are totally different. They become obsessed with how their videos will be perceived.
Anger and jealousy can no more bear to lose sight of their objects than love.
I have had stalkers over the years. The police deal with it but it is very scary. One man kept turning up where we filmed 'Countdown in Leeds,' which was scary. It was sad as he'd been sectioned and thought I was talking to him through the TV.
When I was little, whenever I got out of the shower, I never wanted to touch the floor because once you touch the floor, your feet are dirty again. So in the shower, I used to put my socks on already without drying them off.
The word that comes closest to describing him for me is fanatic.
Referring to Oliver L. North:
