I was always trying to do things to make school fun.

I've known lots of people that are talented and nothing happens. It's not about talent, it's relentless drive.

Your work is a separate thing from you. You are this person who has your friends and your life, and you have to see the separation. If you see the separation between your work and yourself it's so much easier.

The best thing about becoming successful is that you get flowers all the time.

There was plenty of dysfunction in my family and I went to Catholic School with these psychotic nuns. I would always try to be funny to lighten the mood.

I don't just want to be successful I want to have fun.

You have to do anything you can think of that gets you excited.
