Tell a female she's thin and she's yours for life.

I can’t remember how many times I advised students to stop writing the sunny hours and write from where it hurts: No one wants to read polite. It puts them to sleep.

Publishers never tell writers anything. They're all crazy and they drive me crazy.

It sounds shameful, but on my best days I write only about three or four hours.

There is always a spark before a drive. Don’t expect any miracle to occur in your life if you won’t avail yourself to be sparked by the Holy Spirit of God!

I doubt very much that writers ever go to therapy. I wouldn't! I imagine that I wouldn't have anything to write about after!

Everything you need for better future and success has already been written. And guess what? All you have to do is go to the library.

I don't want to know how you did it. I want to believe you are magic.

That's one of the fun parts of becoming an actor: You can become whoever you want to be.

Each match I play is the most important one yet.
