No sir, I don't know why, but my eyes don't cry no more.

But you just gotta understand that that's the way it is and keep on steppin'.

I'm the same age as my tongue and a little bit older than my teeth.

Work at your craft, write daily, and follow your dreams because dreams do come true.

I write because I love to. I'm very, very fortunate to have found something that I love doing that also earns my living. But to be honest, I'd write even if I weren't being paid to.

Just like when there's a time that a smart person knows enough is enough, there's a time when you know you've got to fight.

Things aren't ever what they seem to be when you first look at them. What's important is that you keep your mind wide open and try to understand what's going on from a lot of different angles.
