Life is just a Box of Chocolates.

I became a professional actor in Detroit and I was able to earn some money. It was a good job because it permitted me to study. It fit perfectly with school.

Landing the airplane I think is the most difficult thing that I've every learned to do in my life.

The definition of genius, really, should be that that person can do what the rest of us have to learn how to do.

I would say that writing, both the act of writing, and of course reading of other people's work is, for me, supreme joy.

Geniuses always think it's easier than we make it out to be.

I work seven days a week and I work about 12 hours a day, from the beginning of September to about the end of May; the school year. I take two days off, Christmas and New Year's, Thanksgiving sometimes - two and a half. And the result is that I bonded myself to my desk.
