You are, in fact, a mashup of what you choose to let into your life. You are the sum of your influences. The German writer Goethe said, "We are shaped and fashioned by what we love."

The biggest task in the morning is to try to keep my headspace from being invaded by the outside world.

Eat breakfast. Do some push-ups. Go for long walks. Get plenty of sleep.

There's a balance between what you want to give the world and what it needs. If you're lucky, your work is in the middle.

The minute you learn something, turn around and teach it to others.

The best advice is not to write what you know, it's to write what you like.

We found the future, like birds fly into windows.
