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.

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
No matter what I do with my life, or how successful I am, I will always be a socially awkward penguin inside.
Wil Wheaton
The goal isn’t to make something everyone will love the goal is to get excited, and make a thing where something wasn’t before.
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'm keenly aware of the Pride coming before the Fall . . . but I really do like what I've been able to do here.
Wil Wheaton
Even when I was little and going on auditions, it was clear who was there because they wanted to be there, and who was there because their stage parents were making them be there. There was a major difference.
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
One of the things that drives me crazy is the belief in Hollywood that bittorrent exists solely for stealing things.
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
You can’t has,' he whispered softly, 'not yours.
Wil Wheaton
When you get a group of kids together, especially boys, the psychology of those kids requires that they find a weak kid or a sensitive kid or a soft kid.
Wil Wheaton
I'm going to go talk to some people to see if you could be in the movie because you should be in the movie.
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.
