I never want to repeat myself. I can't imagine anything else as upsetting as realizing I'm redoing something I did before. For some reason, when it comes to film, I'm very good at not repeating myself. Even though in the rest of my life, I'm constantly repeating my mistakes.

I tell people, 'You can do this.' And they write back and say, 'You were right. I can do this. And now I believe I can do anything.'

Of course, like anybody I repeat myself endlessly, but I don't know that I'm doing it, usually.

If you give yourself to your task at once, you won't have to do it twice.

Looking back on my life, I wish I'd stepped forward and made a fool of myself more often when I was younger - because when you do, you find out you can do it.

I often sit back and think, I wish I'd done that, and find out later that I already have.

Anytime someone tells me that I can't do something, I want to do it more.

Am I worried people will say I'm repeating myself? Sure. One thought I had was to publish it as a novel but eventually I just decided to do what I wanted to do.

I've finally gotten to a place where I can say, 'You know what? You didn't think I could do it, people.' But I did it.
