I am always doing what I can't do yet in order to learn how to do it.

That’s the best revenge of all: happiness. Nothing drives people crazier than seeing someone have a good fucking life.

I don't even have an email address. I have reached an age where my main purpose is not to receive messages.

Make every detail perfect and limit the number of details to perfect.

I want the power to create what is in my mind. That's my dream. I want to be able to have a thought or an idea and bring it into reality.

They always say that time changes things, but you actually have to change them yourself.

The day before something is a breakthrough, it’s a crazy idea.

Do the best you can until you know better. Then when you know better, do better.

The lights went out, and I remember Steven Spielberg took a flashlight and held it above his head and shined it down on himself and said, ‘Love story,’ and then put it under his chin and said, ‘Horror story.’ ‘Love story. Horror story.’

What man has done, the little triumphs of his present state, and all this history we have told, form but the prelude to the things that man has got to do.

Start by doing what’s necessary; then do what’s possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.

Fall down. Make a mess. Break something occasionally. Know that your mistakes are your own unique way of getting to where you need to be.

Fill your life with things that you love.

An old trick well done is far better than a new trick with no effect.

Optimism, pessimism, fuck that; we’re going to make it happen.
