I don't believe in pessimism.

If you feel like you've got something to offer you should do it while the iron's hot.

If you're doing a biography, you try to stay as accurate as possible to reality. But you really don't know what was going on in the person's mind. You just know what was going on in the minds of people around him.

As you get older, you're not afraid of doubt. Doubt isn't running the show. You take out all the self-agonizing.

You take the work seriously, you don't take yourself seriously. You keep that straight and you'll do well the rest of your life.

If you want a guarantee, buy a toaster.

Overnight stardom can be harmful to your mental health. Yeah. It has ruined a lot of people.
