That's why I write, because life never works except in retrospect. You can't control life, at least you can control your version.

Everything is funnier in retrospect, funnier and prettier and cooler. You can laugh at anything from far enough away.

A good story should make you laugh, and a moment later break your heart.

Each writer is born with a repertory company in his head.

Although people all over the world pray in different ways, it is to each heart the most precious light.

You can work to create a bright future.

Who a person is will ultimately determine if their brains, talents, competencies, energy, effort, deal-making abilities, and opportunities will succeed.

So do not waste my time. It is the most precious thing I have, time. It is the most precious thing any of us have.

Hollywood needs more women directors, and Mama Ava needs a carafe and a half of that sweet vino divino.

I'm scared of the unknown future.

And may you happy live, And long us bless.

George smiles to himself, with entire self-satisfaction. Yes, I am crazy, he thinks. That is my secret; my strength.

I was so worried that people wouldn't like me or my story.
