I was striving to be the most muscular man and it got me into the movies. It got me everything that I have.
I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.
Every single art form is involved in film in a way.
Everybody's a filmmaker today.
Everyone told me to pass on Speed because it was a 'bus movie.'
Every great film should seem new every time you see it.
Everything makes me nervous - except making films.
I learned that we can do anything but we can't do everything... at least not at the same time. So think of your priorities not in terms of what activities you do but when you do them. Timing is everything.
I don't believe you have to be better than everybody else. I believe you have to be better than you ever thought you could be.
I work out twice a day once in the morning and once before bed. I'll start with half an hour of running and then some yoga to stretch everything out so everything is warm.
For the first-time novelist you've got to get up at 5:30 in the morning and write until 7 make breakfast and go to work. Or come home and work for an hour. Everybody has an hour in their day somewhere.
I have a huge breakfast every morning because I never know if I'll have time for lunch especially during Fashion Week. It keeps my mood positive all day. And my parents taught me to have tons of fruit and vegetables which I think helps my skin.
Remember that God under the Law ordained a Lamb to be offered up to Him every Morning and Evening.
I'm a total protein shake junkie nerd. I get creative every morning - you never know what you're gonna get in my shake... fruit? Peanut butter? Ice-cream?
I used to spend every morning in detention at my old school.
Everybody's after a new morning. What do we have to run up and salute tomorrow?
I could wake up six in the morning go downstairs and record. I learned how to use ProTools and everything. Whenever I felt it I could record.
I just enjoy life now. I just enjoy every morning I get to wake up.
I have come to understand and appreciate writers much more recently since I started working on a book last fall. Before that I thought golf writers got up every morning played a round of golf had lunch showed up for our last three holes and then went to dinner.
I wake up every morning feeling lucky - which is driven by fear no doubt since I know it could all go away.
I had someone call me this morning telling me they had somebody who would only work a certain number of hours a week because if they worked too many hours a week then they couldn't get their government assistance. And that person has multiple cell phones and gets them new every month with new minutes.
Each of our children during their high school years went to 'early morning seminary' - scripture study classes that met in the home of a church member every school day morning from 6:30 until 7:15.
I think I turned to writing really just to wake up in the morning and be a musician and to have something to do and feel like a musician every day even if I wasn't working.
It was not enough to come and listen to a great sermon or message every Sunday morning and be confined to those four walls and those four corners. You had to get out and do something.
