When you don't have time to do your job, that's a good indication you're playing the wrong game.

The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.

I didn't want the headache of having a publisher reviewing everything I wrote in advance.

The highest form of leadership is one in which a leader raises up other leaders - not as an accident, but as a result of conscious effort.

I'm so used to artists saying to me, "Listen, I'm going to have five pages done next week," and then three weeks later I'm phoning them, begging them for two pages. And Stuart [Immonen]is a guy who will promise you five pages and deliver six pages, and the six pages are even better than you could have ever imagined.

I spent as much time writing proposals in '98 and '99 as I did writing scripts.

Leaders don't ever "arrive." If we ever think we're done, we are done!
