I think one of the most important lessons that I've learned is to put your head down and work. Don't look at other people and compare yourself. Just do the work. Because when the opportunity is there, you have to be ready. Make sure your craft is refined and you're constantly working on it.

It's all about learning your craft and honing it in and really paying attention to people who are doing it and what their advice is. It's like anything: it takes years and years and years. A lot of it comes down to work ethic.

The only way to learn and hone your craft is by working hard and writing regularly.

And I believe that the best learning process of any kind of craft is just to look at the work of others.

The sooner you learn to finish things, and as a matter of course finish your creative endeavors, the better. It took me a long time to learn that.

It is not enough to know your craft - you have to have feeling. Science is all very well, but for us imagination is worth far more.

The secret of success is to be ready when your opportunity comes.

Obviously, I haven't really progressed that much at my craft.

I worked harder at my craft, and it took some time, but here I am today doing what I want to do, which is entertain people.

In most things success depends on knowing how long it takes to succeed.
