My dad in particular, I tend to use; I call him "The Brain." If he's accessible, I'd rather put it through his brain.

So anything worth mulling over, I will mull over with my father, and that includes ratings. ~Joshua Malina
#quotes #joshua-malina #father

I believe that before anything else I'm a human being; just as much as you are... or at any rate I shall try to become one.

I must think things out for myself and try to understand them. ~Henrik Ibsen
