"I want to see, that's all. This is my life. I want to see"

-- Leni Riefenstahl

“Writing is really just a matter of writing a lot, writing consistently and having faith that you'll continue to get better and better. Sometimes, people think that if they don't display great talent and have some success right away, they won't succeed. But writing is about struggling through and learning and finding out what it is about writing itself that you really love.”
“There are no contests in the Art of Peace. A true warrior is invincible because he or she contests with nothing. Defeat means to defeat the mind of contention that we harbor within.”
“It's a weird thing when you make records. You try to hear it before you make it, so you walk into the studio with this idea of what you expect to happen, and that usually changes. That usually turns into something else, and that's a good thing. If everything was as you imagined it to be, it just wouldn't be as much fun.”
“One regret I have is that I did not learn more about what was happening very early, so that I could have tried to stop people from engaging in illegal activities.”
“Language is more fashion than science, and matters of usage, spelling and pronunciation tend to wander around like hemlines.”
“First Ladies have always been held like specimens under a media microscope.”
“I'm not lost,I'm just in between places I recognize.”
“For me, the goal is always to write a novel that I myself would like to read. People frequently ask me what my favorite book is, and in effect, there's always a capital-F Favorite, capital-B Book that I would like to write myself someday. I try to go for that ideal of writing the best, most entertaining, most beautifully written book that I possibly can.”
