Because publishing is becoming more business-oriented each day with more examination of the bottom line, it's harder to break out than ever.
Everything in your world is created by what you think.
Do the one thing you think you cannot do. Fail at it. Try again. Do better the second time. The only people who never tumble are those who never mount the high wire. This is your moment. Own it.
You define your own life. Don't let other people write your script.
Everybody has a story. And there's something to be learned from every experience.
The biggest adventure you can take is to live the life of your dreams.
Don't settle for a relationship that won't let you be yourself.
I could have waited years, now that I knew the end of the story. I was cold and wet and very happy. I could even look with charity towards the altar and the figure dangling there. She loves us both, I thought, but if there is to be a conflict between an image and a man, I know who will win. I could put my hand on her thigh or my mouth on her breast; he was imprisoned behind the altar and couldn't move to plead his cause.
I thought I had a clear picture of death, but now I know it's a mystery and it will always be a mystery, although it is something we all have in common: everybody knows that life ends with death.
I have a very hardline position, we have a country or we don't have a country. People that have come into our country illegally, they have to go. They have to come back into through a legal process.
When I work, and in my art, I hold hands with God.
