I do what I did as a hobby as a kid, you know, and make a living at it. And I just feel like I'm one of the luckiest guys in the world 'cuz I get paid to make toys and play with them.

CGI has a lot of backlash now. I think it's just because there are so many people doing it. It's a tool and it's only as good as the people behind it.

I can't tell you how many people would say to me as a teenager, 'Why don't you grow up and start thinking about getting a real job?

Attitude is the mind's paintbrush; it can color any situation.

Don't make unimportant things important

I have a high guilt quotient. A poem can go through as many as 50 or 60 drafts. It can take from a day to two years - or longer.

I'm afraid there are no replays or second chances in amateur or professional golf, and that's the way it should be.

I have so much respect for people in the service. The mental strength it takes to do what they do is unbelievable.
