What I like about The Sims is that I don't have a normal life at all, so I play this game where these people have these really boring, mundane lives. It's fun.

Alan Moore is a prophetic writer.

Heroes are ordinary people who make themselves extraordinary.

My Sims family is called the Cholly family. I don't know why I picked that name; it's kind of random.
