I think the challenges should be familiar. They should have some relationship to the feelings.

I don't believe that hard work equals success. It can, and maybe it should, but I know that it doesn't. There's a very slight relationship between the two.

I think that movies are really fake; they should be fake. I don't think my way is any better than anybody else's way, but I know they're not real. I like to lean into the make-believe aspect of movies. That's why they're better than real life.

It's an absolute myth that early to bed and early to rise makes a man healthy, wealthy, and wise. Of course it doesn't.

Don't ever let someone tell you, you can't do something. Not even me. You got a dream, you got to protect it.

I think fate is massive, and it's never really had its place among forces we respect as having control over us.

The people around whom I've lived most of my life, they're similar. They have same expectations of life that aren't exaggerated, they could be accomplished, they could get what they want. But they could not, too. It's not to be taken for granted. Even getting by, and being satisfied, barely, is hard.
