I loved downers, almost any kind. Loved the colors of them. Loved them yellow... I did. I would just have a bouquet in my hands at night.
Most remarks that are worth making are commonplace remarks. The things that makes them worth saying is that we really mean them.
Fans always say they laughed and they cried while reading my books. And I tell them that I laughed and cried while writing them.
For as long as I'm able to write songs and sing them, it's just about making them ones I feel proud to sing again and again.
When someone tells you who they are, believe them the first time. After getting to know them better - use your judgement
When we forgive someone, it doesn’t justify what they’ve done. It releases them into God’s hands so He can deal with them.
I've seen a range of children's personalities, so it's easier to write about them without patronising them, I think.
God sends Children, Parents help them grow up. Teachers teach students, An academy makes them Professionals.
Do not focus on your failings, for you will only encourage them. If you keep beating yourself up on the head over these, you will only reinforce them.
You want to make people laugh and by virtue of that please them, but when you're instructed to make people laugh and please them, you're too resentful to do it.
There's no commodity we can take with us. There is only our lives, whether we live them wisely or whether we live them in ignorance. And this is everything.
Confront them with annihilation, and they will then survive; plunge them into a deadly situation, and they will then live. When people fall into danger, they are then able to strive for victory.
If you think a child is going to be your accessory... it's not like a micro pig. It's not about putting them in front of the television. You need to read to them at night.
I've always had a fascination for animals. I loved watching them, and even then I thought of them as beings rather than pets. I call it a birth affect!
Unforgiveness denies the victim the possibility of parole and leaves them stuck in the prison of what was, incarcerating them in their trauma and relinquishing the chance to escape beyond the pain.
I shall take all the troubles of the past, all the disappointments, all the headaches, and I shall pack them in a bag and throw them in the East River.
Here is how you know if it is love or lust. Push them in front of a bus. If you jump in the way and save them it is love.
Cats do not hunt seals. They would hunt them if they knew what seals and where to find them. But they do not know, so it's okay.
And you'd think that killing people would make them like you, but it doesn't. It just- it just makes them dead.
You take people, you put them on a journey, you give them peril, you find out who they really are.
For me, screenwriting is all about setting characters in motion and as a writer just chasing them. They should tell you what they'll do in any scene you put them in.
