4229. I guess when you have that one monster season, it’s good because you’re recognized. If it weren’t for that season, not as many people would know about my career. But it also kind of diminishes what I did in other years. – Brady Anderson

4332. I think one of the great moments of my life was when I could write musician on my passport. – Jon Anderson

4362. Do you want Columbus to go across the ocean, or do you want to put a message in a bottle and hope that it lands somewhere? I’d rather have actual people be there.

4363. Each book will have a lot of cliffhangers, because I like that. – Kevin J. Anderson

4914. I had an idea of what I thought was funny. It’s kind of based on how I am. – Jennifer Aniston
