“I definitely prefer directing, hands down. I'm a lazy writer and it wasn't until I got into directing that I now have a real impetus when I'm sitting at my computer. Now that I know what it's like to get to bring characters and their stories to fruition, I'm addicted. I'm a junkie. I want more.”

“This is how it essentially is for Bunny Junior. He loves his dad. He thinks there is no dad better, cleverer, or more capable, and he stands there beside him with a sense of pride - he's my dad - and he also, of course, stands beside him because he has nowhere else to go.”
“I thought grandmothers had to like you. Itâ€™s a law or something.”
“Contentment does not come from achievement. It comes from a relationship with the Lord.”
“Every man is fully satisfied that there is such a thing as truth, or he would not ask any question.”
“I'm addicted to winning. The more you win, the more you want to win.”
“I mean, just like every other prominent songwriter or producer, you have the shot. You send in records and if they make it, they make it. If they get heard, they get heard. I'm not sure if you know how that circle of songwriting and producing works, but every time a big artist is working, everybody and their mother is in the studio writing records to try to get on it.”
“Iâ€™m a writer, and everything I write is both a confession and a struggle to understand things about myself and this world in which I live. This is what everyoneâ€™s work should be-whether you dance or paint or sing. It is a confession, a baring of your soul, your faults, those things you simply cannot or will not understand or accept. You stumble forward, confused, and you share. If youâ€™re lucky, you learn something.”
