Believe in your work, educate yourself about the business, surround yourself with good people, set goals and timetables and stay focused on them.

Don't get down on yourself when you get rejection letters.

I honestly believe that all of my work have the type of impact that will allow me to create some unique opportunities.

Don't date a woman without cable (no cable, no SportsCenter).

Learn your audience and know how to reach them and don't sign anything without a good lawyer and a capable agent.

I am not a trained writer and I don't think anyone would accuse me of being a funny person. But I feel God has truly blessed me.

I never stopped believing in my ability or what I was doing. I want to pass that sense of faith and perseverance on to others.
