We're Tuesday people.

Love is how you stay alive, even after you are gone.

When someone is in your heart, they're never truly gone. They can come back to you, even at unlikely times.

Accept who you are; and revel in it.

Death ends a life, not a relationship.

This is part of what a family is about, not just love. It's knowing that your family will be there watching out for you. Nothing else will give you that. Not money. Not fame. Not work.

We all yearn for what we have lost. But sometimes, we forget what we have.

The truth is, once you learn how to die, you learn how to live.

Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.

Nothing haunts us like the things we don't say.

Don't cling to things because everything is impermanent.

The fight of faith can only be won by the holy word of God.

You don't have to be great to start, but you have to start to be great.

I didn't flee a dictator or swim an ocean to be an American like some do. I just thought long and hard about it.

The people who are right a lot often change their minds.

There's no excuse not to make films on weekends with friends.

Gather knowledge... Visit galleries, museums, art and craft fairs... Read books and magazines. Take workshops. Use your senses. Experience stimulates your memory and imagination.

Marriage is like a table with four legs - the couple, the children, the parents and the in-laws. Break any of these and the marriage crashes to the floor

I think most novelists I know, certainly including me, feel the novels choose them rather than vice-versa.

Whenever I produce my best work, it's always because I've spent time being idle. Something always emerges after nothing.
