Jason Segel’s 5 most popular quotes
- Part of growing up is not waiting in line at a hipster breakfast restaurant. The eggs taste the same across the street. I promise.
- My mother taught me to be nice to everybody. And she said something before I left home. She said, ‘I want you to always remember that the person you are in this world is a reflection of the job I did as a mother.’
- Honestly, I have come to believe that everything is in the order it’s in for a reason. I am happy with who I am today.
- The narrative of our lives is a total construct. We get to choose what that is. That is something I’ve realized as I’ve gotten older. I have a lot of choices about the story that I’m telling myself about my life. So where do I find meaning?
- A man can certainly be a Muppet. Being a Muppet is a state of mind. It’s about finding that little part of you that’s unique, and not being embarrassed by it, but cherishing it.
