Bumps are the things we climb on.

You want to be a bit compulsive in your art or craft or whatever you do.

Steve Martin

My 'fear' is my substance, and probably the best part of me.

Franz Kafka

I still have a photo on my wall of the greatest idol I will ever have in my life, and it's myself at eight.

Carolyn Murphy
