We both [wuth Harry Elfont] had those sort of misfit childhoods.

It is not like every episode [of "Mary and Jane"] people are sitting around getting high.

There are more stakes [in Mary and Jane], which is always good.

There are a couple of things that we did not get to do last season [of Mary and Jane]. There was one that we had written and then we had to excise it and still have not gone back to it.

It is not an easy thing to do [found the tone right away].

I was trying to think of a word that was not offensive. Yeah, Harry [Elfont] is right - it is kind of a different MTV for sure.

To be fair, that MTV was very cooperative with the film [ "Josie and the Pussycats" ], and this MTV has been very cooperative. I actually didn't even think about it until you said it.

Trouble and perplexity drive me to prayer, and prayer drives away perplexity and trouble.

In the company of ignorance, be silent...or join the suffering.

I have different routines for different types of chaos. When I find myself swamped with work and surrounded by people, I try to carve out time to walk my dog alone so I can organize my thoughts.

I come to the point of using steel, and simply cannot. It's like the marriage proposal of a perfectly eligible man who just isn't loveable. It is wood I love.

I have been trained to throw many, many pitches.

I leave for the guidance of other revolutionaries, who may tread the path which I have trod, this advice; never treat with the enemy, never to surrender to his mercy, but to fight to a finish.

A republican government in a hundred points is weaker than an autocratic government; but in this one point it is the strongest that ever existed — it has educated a race of men that are men.

It has been my experience that rewarding and heartbreaking often go hand in hand.

Keep your eyes open, take risks, and whenever possible, don't think of things the way everyone else does.

Without craft, art remains private. Without art, craft is merely hackwork.
