I've gotten used to spending more time with heavily narrative stories.

I'm always reading. And I keep a whole list of stories, often unusual stories. There are a hundred some-odd ideas on that list.

You exist in the minds of other people.

People are really stuck on their ideas about themselves.

I don't know if any of the people perceive themselves as having been made fun of.

Sometimes, I'll read a news story and there will be one line about something else, and I'll find it interesting and look into it. That can often turn into an entire story on its own.

That's always disappointing when you find a good story and you realize the person has died, because then it's difficult to report.

Often my characters have some kind of idealism or grand belief that they're pursuing.

Darkness cannot survive in light, but a light can shine in the dark!

Leaders must served and not to be served as demonstrated by Jesus Christ, the Saviour.

The elephants are dancing on the graves of squeeling mice.

My heart is beating like it's lonely, like there's nothing else inside of me.

Thy word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.

To be practical, any plan must take account of the enemy's power to frustrate it.

I'm my own person, and am trying to carve out a career on my own.

I have a big problem with conductors who gesture a lot.

Music is so strong, so powerful, and such an amazing tool and bands that don't take that into account and feel that they are not responsible for their message is a bunch of baloney.

I will work day and night to avoid failure, but if I can't, I'll pick myself up the next day. The most important thing for entrepreneurs is not to be put off by failure.
