Your ideas dry up sometimes, and you get lazy sometimes 'cause you're around the same people. That was the good thing about having different directors. You had to stay on your toes.

I was only given this life because I'm strong enough to live it.

I prefer to be someone who has to confront his many fears instead of someone who has the illusion he doesn't fear anything

I'm a fool to keep staying, when you've made hurting me such an art.

Build a company that idiots could run because eventually they will.
