I don't think I ever got the hang of the writers' room. I love collaborating with people, but I really do my best work alone, and I think I would want to - if I did something again, I think I'd want to take total ownership the way Aaron Sorkin or David Kelley does.

It is terrible when people do not know God, but it is worse when people identify as God what is not God.

Leo Tolstoy

I went to Ohio University studying arts and history, and playing football. But I was only interested in girls, my pals and sports. I only did the minimum for school.

It's funny, when bands or younger musicians ask me: 'So, what does it take to make it?' Well, first explain to me what you mean by 'making it': Do you want to be a rock star or do you want music to be your livelihood?

Eddie Van Halen

A burnt child dreads the fire.

English Proverb

Because of my faith and my imagination, I was able to enjoy my childhood, even though it was tough.

Donna Brazile

You gotta find what you like and let it kill you.

Kinky Friedman

I hate purity, I hate goodness. I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.

George Orwell

Moderate profits fill the purse.

Italian Proverb

Joseph Joubert

I think I can work with any type of actor.

Ang Lee

The technology is really where all of the changes have taken place, but the fundamentals of a good story being the basis of every good picture, and really the only basis still remains the rule, more so today, I think, because we've unfortunately weaned an audience from birth to kind of mindless movies.

Richard D. Zanuck

That is the true season of love; when we believe that we alone can love, that no one could ever have loved as much before, and that no one will ever love in the same way again.

Johann von Goethe
