I'm the sort of person that starts digging a hole and doesn't stop until it's finished.

I don't know how people do this waxing thing. Now I just have all these bumpy ingrown hairs.

Prison makes an interesting context for so many different characters to come together. You get to see what lines get drawn between people.

I simply can't believe nice communities release effluents.

I always wanted to be an independent maverick, writing plays and putting them on myself.

We'll be going to the fish market and a farmer's market this afternoon to get what we need to make and eat dinner as a family. I'm trying to expose my kids to going to a farmers market or the fish market and learning what that's all about.

There's nothing more important than having a personal connection with your audience.

Life must be lived and curiosity kept alive. One must never, for whatever reason, turn his back on life.

The apostolic writings are of three kinds: historical, didactic, and prophetic.

I don't think the way I portray mother's and son's relationships has anything to do with my age or generation. It has to do with what I lived with my own mother and what it's transformed into and the point of view it has given me on mothers and women. The way I was brought up with women. It's all about personal background.

The soul's joy lies in doing.

I've come to feel that if I can't make something happen in under an hour and a half, it's not going to happen in a compelling way in a three-hour play.

I wasn't angry the night I shot him.

Fear of failure is a ticket to mediocrity. If youre not failing from time to time youre not pushing yourself. And if youre not pushing yourself youre coasting.

We all just kinda did everything we thought we were supposed to do and girls dated the guys they were supposed to and did things with the guys they were supposed to.

Failure does not connote that you achieved nothing. It denotes that you are on an adventure towards finding what will eventually advance you to the realization of your goals.

Godly sorrow is a gift of the Spirit. It is a deep realization that our actions have offended our Father and our God. It is the sharp and keen awareness that our behavior caused the Savior, He who knew no sin, even the greatest of all, to endure agony and suffering.

A good manager is a man who isnt worried about his own career but rather the careers of those who work for him.

At that moment of realization I knew that I had been blind because I had wished not to see; it was only then that I realised, at last, that all these dead men, French and Germans, were brothers, and I was the brother of them all.

When we make progress quickly, it feeds our emotions. Then, when there's a period of waiting or we hit a plateau, we find out how committed we really are and whether we're going to see things through to the finish or quit.

I have a birthmark on the inside of my left knee that resembles an upside-down sea horse.

I'm still an old-school reporter at heart. Writing fiction satisfies my journalistic need to hear and relay the testimony of everyday people at the center of events.

Having money is rather like being a blond. It is more fun but not vital.

And Life is Colour and Warmth and Light and a striving evermore for these; and he is dead, who will not fight; and who dies fighting has increase.
