I didn't have a life until I went up onstage..

We do what we are and we are what we do..

It starts with being unearthed. I like that word, unearthed, because we are being unearthed..

I don't engage in hypotheticals..

Do not call up any that you can not put down..

nobody ever finds the one.

You're a writer. Make it up..

You don't learn to write by going through a series of preset writing exercises. You learn to write by grappling with a real subject that truly matter….

Do not serve time, let time serve you..

So we are grasped by what we cannot grasp..

As much as you put into it is as much as you get out of it..

Don't seek to be published, seek to be read..

The less seriously you take yourself, the better work you're going to do..

Don't talk to us like we ignint!.
