It's neither my job nor within my capabilities to save people. But a book sure can try.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I don't have to go around trying to save everybody anymore; that's not my job.
It's my job to write the best book I can each month and hand my scripts in. Everything else is beyond my control.
I've got more ideas for books than I'll ever be able to use in my lifetime. I'm very fortunate like that.
If you don't allow yourself to change from book to book - take chances - it turns into a dullish job with no health benefits or pension plan and only intermittent paychecks.
Writing a book is such a full-time job. If you're away for a few days, you have to start again.
Everyone has a book within them. Everyone has to write it thinking, 'How will I help other people? What will the book do to touch lives?'
If you're going to write a book that might, in its very best accidental career, sell 30,000 copies, you've got to have a day job.
I'm really wary of self-help books.
A book comes and says, 'Write me.' My job is to try to serve it to the best of my ability, which is never good enough, but all I can do is listen to it, do what it tells me and collaborate.
Writing a book, you can only get stopped by yourself.
