When you're older you want to learn from other people.

You don't have to burn books to destroy a culture. Just get people to stop reading them.

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.

Jump, and you will find out how to unfold your wings as you fall.

Looking back over a lifetime, you see that love was the answer to everything.

Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.

Sometimes you just have to jump out the window and grow wings on the way down.

I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.

Insanity is relative. It depends on who has who locked in what cage.

You must stay drunk on writing so reality cannot destroy you.

Write a short story every week. It's not possible to write 52 bad short stories in a row.

The difference between impossible and possible is a willing heart.

When you jump for joy, beware that no one moves the ground from beneath your feet.

Some adventures require nothing more than a willing heart and the ability to trip over the cracks in the world.

Don't fight with the pillow but lay down your head And kick every worriment out of the bed.

When I first started getting into the business, a young woman in a music game that was mostly men, I did feel inadequate.

I also would rather race than strut red carpets in Hollywood - and thank God this is not my job - but also the team principals should be more prominent.

When we took over the economy, we were losing 800 thousand jobs a month under the [George W.] Bush administration.

Money will always turn up when there is a potential for profit.

I used to dance for seventeen years -classical ballet, which was very disciplined. I like yoga and Pilates, but I don't have the discipline to go to the gym.
