“I have two rules in life - to hell with it, whatever it is, and get your work done.”

“I have three rules to live by: Get your work done. If that doesn't work, shut up and drink your gin, and when all else fails, run like hell.”

“The first thing you have to know about writing is that it is something you must do everyday. There are two reasons for this rule: Getting the work done and connecting with your unconscious mind.”

“If it were your soul I was after, all the dark Cherubim in Hell couldn't keep me from you... I would have done whatever it took to save you... Even if that meant I had to spend eternity in Hell.”

“The big secret in life is there is no secret. Whatever your goal. You can get there if you're willing to work.”

“I made up my mind that I'd get out of that place and I did...I learned that if you want to get somewhere, you just make up your mind and work like hell til you get there. If you want to go somewhere in life, you just have to work till you make it.”
