Erik Larson

I was once again looking for a book idea, and I remembered Holmes, but I specifically remembered that there was this World's Fair thing in the background. I thought, 'I'll read about the fair.'

We humans, just like the animals in our zoos, were born into bodies whose workings are both mechanistically predictable and unfathomably complex. Put in lots of sugar, and we'll get fat and sick. Confine our movement, and we'll get weak and antsy. Give us some manageable problems with which to grapple, and we'll cheer up.

I get so antsy. When you're working, you're like, 'Oh my God, I'm so tired.' And then a hiatus starts, and you're off for three days, and you don't know what to do with yourself. You're never gonna have another job in your life, and you suck at acting. Your world comes tumbling down pretty quickly.

The average person has eight different jobs over the course of their lifetime. You get a little antsy doing the same thing.

All my adult life, if I didn't have several hours a day to sit in a room by myself, I would get antsy and irritable.

I can only be so long without work before I start getting antsy.

Used to express a lack of patience when you're eager to start something or get somewhere.
