Dreams are, by definition cursed with short life spans.
Is it Nice in your snowstorm- freezing your brain? Do you think that your face looks the same?
I'm a born librarian with a sex drive
I never heard so many kids talk about just doing anything to be famous. I mean, yeah, fame is part of the deal when you're a kid and you think, I wanna go into music, but everybody that I knew was really doing it because of their love for it. I don't see so much of that anymore.
I'll place my love beneath the stars.
It always felt like you were trying too hard to look like the audience or something. That whole thing about the artistic integrity, which, of course, I've never bought into - with any artist. It's just not a real thing.
I have to take total control myself. I can't let anybody else do anything, for I find that I can do things better for me. I don't want to get other people playing with what they think that I'm trying to do.

I don't want to analyze myself or anything, but I think, in fact I know this to be true, that I enter the world through what I write.

But when I started writing, suddenly there was something that I brought to the party that was at a high-enough level.
Careers are built on relationships. Even if it's a bad movie, even if I know it's a bad movie, even if it's a team of filmmakers that I know are going to be difficult, that I know are going to really make me work extra hard, it's fundamentally the same process.
Brand inside is more important than brand outside for sustained success.
