Living with him is like being told a perpetual story: his mind is the biggest, most imaginative I have ever met. I could live in its growing countries forever.

And by the way, everything in life is writable about if you have the outgoing guts to do it, and the imagination to improvise. The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

Perhaps some day I'll crawl back home, beaten, defeated. But not as long as I can make stories out of my heartbreak, beauty out of sorrow.

I wonder why I don't go to bed and go to sleep. But then it would be tomorrow, so I decide that no matter how tired, no matter how incoherent I am, I can skip on hour more of sleep and live.

The worst enemy to creativity is self-doubt.

How we need another soul to cling to.

So much working, reading, thinking, living to do! A lifetime is not long enough.

I am for anything that makes teens visible in an honest way... in other words, anything that represents them the way they are, positively or negatively.

A lot of disappointed people have been left standing on the street corner waiting for the bus marked Perfection.

Come Dance with Me , come dance.

I'm not ill-informed about movies. I like movies that take it to that next step.

I am looking forward to getting to do things I have never done before.

I put the pistol by my head, and say a prayer. I see visions of me dead, Lord are you there?
