"He told me he was a specialist in adventure travel. I didn't realize that meant trying to find $5 dates in New York City." —Janet Baca, former girlfriend
"If he's half as skilled at writing as he is at finding coins under the cushions of the couch, it'll be a great book." —Grace Goldman, great aunt
"Ethan told me that for $50, he'd get my name on the cover of a book." —Roy Wolff, father
