Like anything else that happens on its own the act of writing is beyond currency. Money is great stuff to have but when it comes to the act of creation the best thing is not to think of money too much. It constipates the whole process.

The trick of this thing and the beauty of this thing is that it's a cowboy movie first and then stuff happens. Even after stuff happens it doesn't change - it hasn't suddenly changed into another kind of movie. It's still a cowboy movie. And that's what's incredible about it because nobody has done that before that's new territory.

Our lives are not determined by what happens to us but how we react to what happens not by what life brings us but the attitude we bring to life.

You cannot control what happens to you but you can control your attitude toward what happens to you and in that you will be mastering change rather than allowing it to master you.

Your living is determined not so much by what life brings to you as by the attitude you bring to life not so much by what happens to you as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

I'm definitely doing better. I never realized that I would get the support that I've gotten from everybody - from my fans to people that I've idolized my whole life. So it's overwhelming it's amazing and I believe that everything happens for a reason so I'm in a really good place right now.

The best days I have are usually days where I'm out in the woods and something happens like I see an amazing animal like a fox or I get a glimpse of a wild pig or something that I never see. Or crazy things happen.

I have an amazing relationship with my wife but sometimes there are arguments. It happens.

Yes the companionship is amazing. You know you can get that physical attraction that happens is great but then there's an awful lot of time and the rest of the day that you have to fill.

It's amazing that the amount of news that happens in the world every day always just exactly fits the newspaper.

There's great sadness and life doesn't work out like you would want on a lot of levels but there's no need to feel all alone. This happens to everybody so there's no self-pity. This is the ride that humans are on and all of it is essential for our natural part of it.
