There are people who are put on this earth to do everything.

Your favorite story, whatever it might be, was written for one reader

I like to write about love plus an obstacle. Not a really big obstacle; not too serious and not too funny. Just somewhere nicely in between - a combination of the two.

You want to surround yourself with people who are as dedicated to their discipline as you are to yours and let them do what they do.

Believe me, you can be in the middle of a beautiful take and the next thing you know you're awash in people crossing the street. You can't even find your actors.

It's funny when you put music up against picture, and all your preconceptions go away, and you start over. You just realize that that doesn't work at all.

I love it when celebrities fall apart, you want them to fall apart like Charlie Sheen.

All revolutions in history have obstacles.

I love The Purple Book. It continually helps reinforce the only foundation worth building upon— a biblical one.

A strenuous soul hates cheap success.
