More quotes by Wil Wheaton
I don’t know what the future of my career holds, but I know that whatever is over the horizon, the road I’ve traveled to get here is like those Interstates in Texas: everything can look the same, and it can feel like you’re not going anywhere, until you suddenly get where you’re going and realize that you’ve been traveling for a long time.
Wil Wheaton
Even when I was little, people would always ask me if I wanted to be a movie star, and I would always say, No, I just want to be an actor.

Things every person should have: •A nemesis. •An evil twin. •A secret headquarters. •An escape hatch. •A partner in crime. •A secret identity.

I've done a lot of geeky things in my life, but I think the geekiest of all was my first effort to build props and cosplay, when I was about twelve years-old.

I met [Shatner] on the set of Star Trek V, and he was horrible to me. He was cruel, and dismissive, and treated me the way I understand he treats pretty much everyone who tells him how much they loved him as Captain Kirk.

I have found that the key to being happy - well, one of the keys, anyway - is to be easily amused.
Wil Wheaton
If the world were a bar, America would currently be the angry drunk waving around a loaded gun. Yeah, the other people in the bar may be afraid of him, but they sure as hell don't respect him.
Wil Wheaton
Either you have a sense of humor about [being a former child star], or you're in rehab. There's not a lot of gray area.
Wil Wheaton
Sometimes, a person who likes your work and a person who don’t will show up within milliseconds of each other to let you know how they feel. One does not need to cancel out the other, positively or negatively if you’re proud of the work, and you enjoyed the work, that is what’s important.
Wil Wheaton
Sometimes we know in our bones what we really need to do, but we're afraid to do it. Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow, though and without risk there is no reward.
Wil Wheaton
Sorry, Vern. I guess a more experienced shopper could have gotten more for your seven cents.
Wil Wheaton
If you enjoyed making a thing, and you’re proud of the thing you made, that’s enough. Not everyone is going to like it, and that’s okay.
Wil Wheaton
Taking a chance and stepping beyond the safety of the world we've always known is the only way to grow.
Wil Wheaton
I'm so fed up with being told that I'm a bad person because I don't subscribe to the same exact narrow views [Christians] have.
Wil Wheaton
Some ISPs are blocking all BitTorrent traffic, because BitTorrent can be used to share files in a piratical way. Hollywood lobbying groups are trying to pass laws which would force ISPs to block or degrade BitTorrent traffic, too. Personally, I think this is like closing down freeways because a bank robber could use them to get away.
Wil Wheaton
I guess I'm up to about 70% of normal, which is a real relief. My doctor gave me clearance to go out in public again, so I've been able to go to the store and help out a little bit around the house.
Wil Wheaton
It’s not about what you said. It’s not about what you did. It’s not about what you love. It’s about them feeling bad about themselves.
Wil Wheaton
I like to quote things.
