“Treat a dog right and he'll treat you right. ... Cats is different, but I never held it against them.”

“It's not how great the ideas are. It's about how you write them, to make them great.”

“When we treat children's play as seriously as it deserves, we are helping them feel the joy that's to be found in the creative spirit. It's the things we play with and the people who help us play that make a great difference in our lives.”
