“Why don't we just build you an house outside Hilly?”
“Great leaders don't play by the existing rules.”
“One criticizes in others what one recognizes and despises in oneself. For example, an artist who is revolted by anotherâ€™s ambitiousness.”
“I do not know everything, I never will, and that is OK.”
“I haven't written a young-adult book in years. I'm also doing six 'Goosebumps' books a year now.”
“I was a musician who began playing with computers, to see if they could make some tasks simpler. I developed some "tricks" or strategies for working with audio files, and then discovered that the same tricks could be applied to video files, or really, any type of data. Previously I made many different kinds of music. I did some work as a composer of film scores. In that role, my task was to create audio to match and deepen the visual. In my work now, the role is often reversed: I have to create images to match and deepen the audio.”
“If the Philippines secure their independence after heroic and stubborn conflicts, they can rest assured that neither England, nor Germany, nor France, and still less Holland, will dare to take up what Spain has been unable to hold.”
“Ive really written my books for my husband and our family. Theyve brought us closer together by allowing us to discuss things that were unspoken for so long.”
