book want obscure
I want my books to sell, to be read. I'm not interested in being obscure.
thinking tree rooted
I think it's possible to be multi-rooted, rather like a banyan tree, without being deracinated.
men games winner
In life's brief game to be a winner A man must have...oh yes, above All else, of course, someone to love.
thinking important matter
I certainly think its very important that writers as citizens - not necessarily as writers, but just as ordinary citizens - should talk about things that matter to them.
both inevitably job money others possible spend victim ways
While I have always thought that the motivation for looking for E.T. was both self-evident and patently worthy, it's possible that I'm a victim of my own job description. Others don't inevitably agree. Some will opine that there are better ways to spend the money.
stars journey doors
Behind every door on every ordinary street, in every hut in every ordinary village in this middling planet of a trivial star, such riches are to be found. The strange journeys we undertake on our earthly pilgrimage, the joy and suffering we taste or confer, the chance events that leave us together or apart, what a complex trace they leave: so personal as to be almost incommunicable, so fugitive as to be almost irrecoverable.
My weakness as an actor is that I think too much.
believe capitalize create fact kids material money older people position tendency trend
I think there's a tendency from the people who are in a position to create material to try and capitalize on what they believe to be a trend, ... and the only trend here is the fact that these kids are getting older and having money to go see movies.
believe space care
Evolution doesn't care whether you believe in it or not, no more than gravity does. I want to rekindle excitement over what we've achieved as a species with the space program. We can't afford to regress back to the days of superstition.
I don't think there should be a hierarchy of what is valid in the arts.
jobs promise delight
Your drudgery is another person's delight. It's only a job if you treat it that way. The privilege to do our work, to be in control of the promises we make and the things we build, is something worth cherishing.
country book writing
If you have a book to write, write it. If you want to record an album, record it. No need to wait for someone in a cubicle halfway across the country to decide if you're worthy.
believe opposites perfect
The object isn't to be perfect. The goal isn't to hold back until you've created something beyond reproach. I believe the opposite is true. Our birthright is to fail and to fail often, but to fail in search of something bigger than we can imagine. To do anything else is to waste it all.
life work writing
I was amplifying the negative at the expense of the positive, not to serve any useful function, not to make my writing better, but to destroy it. The lizard brain, so attuned to people laughing behind our backs, was on high alert for this sort of criticism and would do anything it could to stop me from writing again. I haven't sought out and read a review or a tweet since.
