letting-go should learn-to-let-go
Learning to let go should be learned before learning to get. Life should be touched, not strangled.
television triumph disaster
Television is very dangerous. Because it repeats and repeats and repeats our disasters, instead of our triumphs.
future trying programming
I don't try to describe the future. I try to prevent it.
writing character fake
Screenplays are not writing. They're a fake form of writing. It's a lot of dialogue and very little atmosphere. Very little description. Very little character work. It's very dangerous. You'll never learn to write.

Anything you dream is fiction, and anything you accomplish is science, the whole history of mankind is nothing but science fiction.
writing ideas needs
I don't need an alarm clock. My ideas wake me.
teamwork believe hard-work
I know you've heard it a thousand times before. But it's true - hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you don't love something, then don't do it.
writing careers pleasant
Just write every day of your life. Read intensely. Then see what happens. Most of my friends who are put on that diet have very pleasant careers.
thinking-of-you creativity writing
You can't try to do things; you simply must do them.
thinking-of-you creativity self
Don't think. Thinking is the enemy of creativity. It's self-conscious, and anything self-conscious is lousy. You can't try to do things. You simply must do things.
ignorance ifs
If you hide your ignorance, no one will hit you and you'll never learn.
writing waiting way
You can't learn to write that way - by writing directly for the screen. Wait until you're 30. But in the meantime write 200 short stories. You've got to learn how to write!

Living at risk is jumping off the cliff and building your wings on the way down.
philosophy positive-thinking medicine
If you enjoy living, it is not difficult to keep the sense of wonder.
