  • The ability to be in the present moment is a major component of mental wellness.

  • As centuries of dictators have known, an illiterate crowd is the easiest to rule; since the craft of reading cannot be untaught once it has been acquired, the second-best recourse is to limit its scope.

  • it's been my experience that most writers don't talk about their craft--they just do it

  • My aim is not to exhibit craft, but rather to submerge it, and make it rightfully the handmaiden of beauty, power and emotional content.

  • Change itself is what fascinates me. I am drawn, as a moth to the flame, by edge situations, by situations of metamorphosis.

  • The challenge to be the best is what drives me and to just improve my body every day.

  • Good looks only take you so far. You don't have to be the best looking guy.

  • Beauty is being the best possible version of yourself, inside and out.

  • If you don't actively and decidedly choose to be the best, you automatically default to the lower 80% in your field.
