Baltasar Gracian

Never open the door to a lesser evil, for other and greater ones invariably slink in after it.

Little said is soon amended. There is always time to add a word, never to withdraw one.

He that has satisfied his thirst turns his back on the well.

I love 'Curb Your Enthusiasm' and 'Extras' and also 'The Trip.' That had all the nuances of friendship and finding things out about their lives without it being too much plot-driven.

I wrote in the 'War of Art' that I could divide my life neatly into two parts: before turning pro and after. After is better.

Buddha means awareness, the awareness of body and mind that prevents evil from arising in either.
