I ended up getting a lion chain. I had to make my own mascot - I want to start my own dynasty eventually.

I got a dream that's worth more than my reality.

The higher the goal, the harder the climb, but after that the bigger the muscle the, smarter the mind.

Used to tell me the sky's the limit, now the sky is our point of view.

A man that can master patience can master anything.

You live and you learn, man. I've learned you can't wait on anybody. You have to raise your awareness yourself.

When I read, I hear what's on the page. I don't know whose voice it is, but some voice is reading to me, and when I write my own stories, I hear it, too.

If you just keep your head down and just try and do your thing, sometimes magic happens.

All the new technology seems redundant to me. I was quite happy with the United States mail service. And, I don't even have an answering machine, for God's sake.

I think one of my favorite productions ever was Sondheims Assassins at the Roundabout in 2004. Beyond brilliant.

Ignore the received wisdom of any industry you’re entering. Never be trapped by dogma. Never let other people’s opinions drown out your own inner voice.
