Quote

I always wrote about things that were important to me. I think our past success showed that it was also important for a lot of others.

I always encourage people in the early parts of their career to focus on writing. If you can communicate clearly, if you can articulate a thought, if you can write a great story, then you're going to be successful.

Writers are so important.

The two most important requirements for major success are: first, being in the right place at the right time, and second, doing something about it.

The most important thing is being passionate about what you're doing and always give it your all. That is the key to success.

We're all in this together - when one writer succeeds, all writers succeed. I love discovering new authors. I think we need to take care of each other and talk about craft and nurture talent.

The most important thing for anyone, I think, is to be engaged, whether you're an artist or a journalist is to be engaged in the process at some level.

You cannot predict literary success; the only way you can possibly aim for it is to do your thing and do it well.

Success is the most important to many, to me it's just a bonus.

I don't know how to measure success. I have been fortunate that I got exciting films to do and work with talented directors who brought out the best in me.
