I'm not very interested in telling the facts. I have a lot of investment in telling the truth.

I always tell my students, about the biggest baddest things in life you must try to write small and light, save the big writing for the unexpected tiny thing that always makes or breaks a story.

Dogs change lives. Half Buddha, half Bozo, they keep us tethered to the earth, and teach us to fly. Our dogs are our sanity keepers.

When I was a little kid, I used to walk miles and miles and miles and miles and miles and miles of railroad tracks.

To run any system, you've got to grow your personnel and your players have to have a certain skill set.

The act of sport remains a human act, unrelated to gender.

Another reason for switching to color is world television. In a few years, it will all be in color, and you can't compete against that with black-and-white films.

You have to be entrepreneurial and use your name.

Nicholas Sparks recently went on record as saying he is a greater novelist than Cormac McCarthy. This is true in the same sense that I am a better novelist than William Shakespeare.

I constantly remind myself that there are terrible movies out there. I try to watch them, some of them, to give myself an understanding of what not to do.

Color provokes a psychic vibration. Color hides a power still unknown but real, which acts on every part of the human body.
