I cannot abide being bored.

Anyone not busy learning is busy dying.

The belief that you have a great idea is not worth cuckoo spit. Ideas are ten a penny while the ability to execute counts for a great deal more.

People who get trapped in the tunnel vision of making money think that is all there is to life.

Without self belief nothing can be accomplished. With it, nothing is impossible.

Say to yourself: The world is full of money. Some of it has my name on it. All I have to do is collect it.

Teamwork is the glue which binds losers together

Obviously, waste disposal is an enormous and fantastic industry.

'Tis a gift to be simple 'tis a gift to be free. 'Tis a gift to come round to where we ought to be. And when we find a place that feels just right We will be in the valley of love and delight.

The upside to grief is it takes away your appetite. When people say you look good they really mean it. Nature's thoughtful that way.

The trick is to try and justify every word on the page and make sure my character is the man who would say that.

Violence against women is clearly not solved, not at all solved, and the reasons for it, which are controlling women's bodies in order to control reproduction, are definitely not solved.

If you’re doing something you love with people you love in a place you love, you are going to create something of value to the world.

I have often seen people uncivil by too much civility, and tiresome in their courtesy.

You've got to let people be just, you know, people. Everyone does bad things sometimes, for all sorts of reasons. You've got to at least understand.
