I have to stay interested. I can't do the same thing over and over again, which is why I don't do - I've made sequels, but it's the movies that are not sequels that I enjoy the most.

I never felt comfortable with myself, because I was never part of the majority. I always felt awkward and shy and on the outside of the momentum of my friends' lives.

All of us every single year, we're a different person. I don't think we're the same person all our lives.

I don't dream at night, I dream at day, I dream all day; I'm dreaming for living.

Failure is inevitable. Success is elusive.

Our one goal is to give the world a taste of peace, friendship and understanding. Through the visual arts, the art of celebration of life.

I'm always in favor of Israel responding strongly when it's threatened.

Before I go off and direct a movie, I always look at four films. They tend to be The Seven Samurai, Lawrence Of Arabia, It's A Wonderful Life and The Searchers.

The world would be a poorer place without Doctor Who.

Every time I go to a movie, it's magic, no matter what the movie's about.

I interviewed survivors, I went to Poland, saw the cities and spent time with the people and spoke to the Jews who had come back to Poland after the war and talked about why they had come back.

The act of taking the first step is what separates the winners from the losers.

Positive vocabulary is like good soil. By speaking and being positive we can enrich the lives of others.

I was a very, very establishment person prior to wanting to run.

Anything that kills hope is a sin

I didn’t realize that pretending to be this ‘Hills Heidi,’ this spoiled rich girl who I wasn’t, would almost destroy me.

It is as easy to dream a book as it is hard to write one.

Part of living is understanding where the fringes are. Once you know how far people go, you can say, "Well, here's how I choose to represent myself."

Publishing is a business. Writing may be art, but publishing, when all is said and done, comes down to dollars.

My life is very busy with a lot of things, and so I don't get uninterrupted time. When I do, I can just write all day.

My main focus is on my game.
