You can't have personal investors anymore because it's too expensive, so you have to have corporate investment or a lot of rich people.

The more you cling to things, The more you love them, The more the pain you suffer, When they're taken from you.

I'm a lazy writer. My idea of heaven is not writing. On the other hand, I'm obviously compulsive about it.

Every day a little death.
