I like to work with artists from around the world. There are so many new inspiring filmmakers.

If you dream the proper dreams, and share the myths with people, they will want to grow up to be like you.

Young people can create beautiful things.

To live without Hope is to Cease to live.

I hope my story inspires everyone out there to keep hustling and chasing their dreams.

Before I do anything, I think, well what hasn’t been seen. Sometimes, that turns out to be something ghastly and not fit for society. And sometimes that inspiration becomes something that’s really worthwhile.

Those who do not want to imitate anything, produce nothing.

He is the greatest artist who has embodied, in the sum of his works, the greatest number of the greatest ideas.

Our truest life is when we are in dreams awake.

Autobiographies are only useful as the lives you read about and analyze may suggest to you something that you may find useful in your own journey through life.

I believe the destiny of your generation – and your nation – is a rendezvous with excellence.

Motivation is the art of getting people to do what you want them to do because they want to do it.

Together, we can help make sure that every family that walks into a restaurant can make an easy, healthy choice.

For my part I know nothing with any certainty, but the sight of the stars makes me dream.

All I ever wanted to do with my life was own a little house. I did that way back with ‚Rocky,‘ so now everything I do is just icing on the cake.

I think it’s really cool when artists have song titles or album names that are a really conversational sentence.

As a kid, I used to see how Sachin Tendulkar used to win matches under pressure for India in Sharjah or other places. So I was always keen to repeat the same in similar situations. I don’t take pressure on myself when I am in the middle. I love pressure, and I always believe that pressure makes you more focused.

I never had to choose a subject – my subject rather chose me.

The spirit is there in every boy; it has to be discovered and brought to light.

My favorite literary heroine is Jo March. It is hard to overstate what she meant to a small, plain girl called Jo, who had a hot temper and a burning ambition to be a writer.

Execute every act of thy life as though it were thy last.

Even in literature and art, no man who bothers about originality will ever be original: whereas if you simply try to tell the truth (without caring twopence how often it has been told before) you will, nine times out of ten, become original without ever having noticed it.

I just love Bowie. I think he’s the ultimate inventor.

Dream no small dreams for they have no power to move the hearts of men.

Hope travels through, nor quits us when we die.

The Internet didn’t get invented on its own. Government research created the Internet so that all the companies could make money off the Internet. The point is, is that when we succeed, we succeed because of our individual initiative, but also because we do things together.

A book must be the ax for the frozen sea within us.

Like anything else that happens on its own, the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have, but when it comes to the act of creation, the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

When you draw or paint a tree, you do not imitate the tree; you do not copy it exactly as it is, which would be mere photography. To be free to paint a tree or a flower or a sunset, you have to feel what it conveys to you: the significance, the meaning of it.

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

My lyrics are generated by various peculiar processes. Very random and similar to automatic writing.

If we’re going to bring out the best in people, we, too, need to sow seeds of encouragement.

Whatever you do may seem insignificant to you, but it is most important that you do it.

If you are going to write, say, fantasy – stop reading fantasy. You’ve already read too much. Read other things; read westerns, read history, read anything that seems interesting, because if you only read fantasy and then you start to write fantasy, all you’re going to do is recycle the same old stuff and move it around a bit.

People don’t care about what someone says about you in a movie – or even what you say, right? They care about what you build. And if you can make something that makes people’s life better, then that’s something that’s really good.

When you cease to make a contribution, you begin to die.

We should not underestimate ourselves, because if lots of individuals go together then we can accomplish almost anything.

Every sin is the result of a collaboration.

Believe that life is worth living and your belief will help create the fact.

The best preparation for tomorrow is doing your best today.

No pressure, no diamonds.

Keep your eyes on the stars, and your feet on the ground.

I ain’t never far away from a pencil and paper or a tape recorder.

Where the mind goes, the man follows.

A rooster crows only when it sees the light. Put him in the dark and he’ll never crow. I have seen the light and I’m crowing.

It is the set of the sails, not the direction of the wind that determines which way we will go.

It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.

Every time I see high-trust cultures, I see a lessening of adversarialism.

The more I think about it, the more I realize there is nothing more artistic than to love others.

People ask me where I got my singing style. I didn’t copy my style from anybody.

I was set free because my greatest fear had been realized, and I still had a daughter who I adored, and I had an old typewriter and a big idea. And so rock bottom became a solid foundation on which I rebuilt my life.

Love is the answer, and you know that for sure; Love is a flower, you’ve got to let it grow.

My mother was and will always remain my greatest hero.

No one was ever great without some portion of divine inspiration.

Poetry comes from the highest happiness or the deepest sorrow.

Find your voice and inspire others to find theirs.
