If I spent my time worrying about what other people would think of my work, I would be too self-conscious to write.

Books are my friends, my companions. They make me laugh and cry and find meaning in life.

If anything happens, I'm going to pin you to my back and never let you off." I love you too." - Saphira and Eragon

The trickster, the riddler, the keeper of balance, he of the many faces who finds life in death and who fears no evil; he who walks through doors.

After all, how can a mere dragon expect to tell a man like yourself what to do? In fact, everyone should stand in awe of your brilliance of finding the only dead end. - Saphira

No hunter of the sky should end his days as prey. Better to die on the wing than pinned to the ground. [Saphira]

Choose to make up for what you lack in innate ability with discipline, hard work, and good habits. Become a creature of champion habits.

Actors pull from their own experiences to bring reality to the characters. I wouldn't want to play someone who's a lot like me. There would be no turning it on or off.

Death must no longer be either the penalty for prosperity or the consolation of misery. God did not destine it to be either the punishment or the compensation for life.

Basically, right before college I got into the Guinness book for my feet and started to do local commercials and little radio spots, just little things and found I really liked it.

Know thy opportunity.

You are responsible for understanding your limitations.

Sometimes you can do things for people other than yourself.

Focus on money and we will make money. Focus on impact and we will make an impact.
