"I think the best way to get a good idea is to have a lot of ideas."
"You can't be afraid to be wrong." "The best way to make a dream come true is to wake up." "You don't lead by hitting people over the head - that's assault, not leadership." "The only way to deal with fear is to face it head on." "You can't really be a writer if you don't have a sense of humor." "The only thing that matters is what you do with what you have." "The writer's job is to get the reader to see the world through the eyes of the character." "I am a writer, and I am a writer because I am a reader." "I think we ought to be able to do anything we want to do." |
