ADD QUOTES
- Zach: I think the saddest moments in life have humor in them. I have a memory of coming home from a funeral with my family in the back of a limousine and someone cracking a joke and us just hysterically belly laughing. It's how we always dealt with tragedy in our lives and I think it's such a healthy way to deal with sadness.

- Zach: People want to laugh. If you combine laughter with compassion, what two stronger things could people want nowadays?

- Zach: I met Evangeline Lilly, and [I told] her my Lost theory: purgatory. She shook her head. 'That is the most common theory. You don't think everybody has thought of that?'
