Everyday holds the possibility of a miracle.

I don't copy recipes without trying them out. I don't reprint without trying them again.

Writing doesn't come easily to me. It gets more and more difficult.

A free life cannot acquire many possessions, because this is not easy to do without servility to mobs or monarchs.

Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.

I've worked with a lot of really fine actors, both on stage and on screen. The level of their game lifts me up and brings the level of my game up to theirs. Always. It's like a constant upgrade.
