Like a bird singing in the rain, let grateful memories survive in time of sorrow.

It is one thing to mortify curiosity, another to conquer it.

I've a grand memory for forgetting.

Politics is perhaps the only profession for which no preparation is thought necessary.

There's a fine line between artist and product. I don't think the industry purposely does it, but I think that's just the way they maneuver. You have to be careful that doesn't become your story, where you become a product, and your art is tarnished because you're just seen as a tool to make money.

Being creative and making money in the theater is very challenging.

If you can't categorize a film for a studio, it's really difficult for them to wrap their heads around it and give you the money.

I think mental illness or madness can be an escape also. People don't develop a mental illness because they are in the happiest of situations, usually. One doctor observed that it was rare when people were rich to become schizophrenic. If they were poor or didn't have too much money, then it was more likely.
