Matt Long Quotations

I enjoy the fact that the prices of homes have gone through the roof, but property taxes have gone with them. I don't have a problem with paying taxes, I really don't, but it's just gotten to the point where you're locked in your home.

I was a conservative kid, but I had fun. I was in a fraternity and stuff. I wasn't a player - that's for sure.

I wasnt athletic. I played baseball, but I was terrible.

I would hate to be 65 and think, 'What if I had tried to be an actor?

There was a time I thought about being a professional guide. I'm a big outdoorsman, but the acting thing has always been there - always something I wanted to do.

What did I discover during my solo—besides learning to unwrap my energy bar ahead of time? That you ask yourself a lot of questions when you're alone on a bike for that long. One question more than others: Why the heck am I doing this? When I was done, I think I had found the answer: For the satisfaction that comes with pushing your body to the breaking point and conquering the unknown.

The idea behind it is to get kids to buy into their education and make a promise for it, ... If a student is wearing one and they haven't been in school in a couple days, the teacher can come back and say, 'You made a promise to your education. We are here doing everything we can, so you need to step it up.'
