I've already worked on at least a dozen dream books. I'm definitely not starving for something, like, "Agh, if only!" It's the opposite.

The positive side about dealing with the logistics of moving books around is that it's better than a gym!

Being in New York, a lot of people I knew were top-notch copy editors or photo retouchers, so I had a good community around me that knew how to do the specialized stuff.

It's important to over-deliver on the quality of the books as far as depth and content. It's not worth it to cut out 50 pages just because it would be a little bit cheaper.

The ability to fantasize is the ability to survive, and the ability to fantasize is the ability to grow

Every person I've ever met always thinks their parents are weird.

I didn't believe that I'd ever be lucky enough to be able to make a living as an actor.

I knew all along that the prize I had set my life on was not worth the winning.
