Always wake up with a smile knowing that today you are going to have fun accomplishing what others are too afraid to do.
I wonder if he dreams about me the nights he spends here in Dallas. OK, I don't wonder. I'm curious about it. Of course, I don't truly believe that I own Phil. But that won't prevent me from walking up to him and say 'Boo' to see if he jumps, just to find out for sure.
Work like there is someone working twenty-four hours a day to take it all away from you.
Creating opportunities means looking where others are not.
By utilizing digital projection and the best independent theaters in the country, we've created a business model that allows filmmakers to control the distribution of their films.
In the past, people used to tell me to shut up a bit. But what I believe is to put out your opinion and let everyone else react. If I'm wrong, I'm wrong.
One of the best classes I ever took was entrepreneurship in my freshman year at Indiana University. It really motivated me.

What makes it even worse is that YouTube is willing to subsidize the cost of your bandwidth. So anybody can create and distribute for free basically, but the real cost is marketing. And that's always the big cost - how do you stand out and what's the cost of standing out? And there's no limit to that cost.
