Failure's a natural part of life.

I've permitted myself to learn and to fail with some regularity. And that is probably the one thing I was given, and that I'm still grateful for.

There's no worse feeling in the world than realizing the play you've directed doesn't work.

It's funny - people think analysis or psychiatry is mad, and THEY go to CHURCH.

I don't understand how somebody wouldn't have a sense of humor about themselves.

It seems whenever I've had a method or what I perceived to be an intellectual groundwork of some sort - a kind of game plan - it's always been the most morbid failure.

I don't want a trillion-dollar empire to run.
