I don't believe in other people's ideas. I have my own ideas.

I simply claim that what ideas I have, I have a right to express; and that any man who denies that right to me is an intellectual thief and robber.

As cliched as it sounds, if you have an original voice and an original idea, then no matter what anybody says, you have to find a way to tell that story.

Originality does not consist in saying what no one has ever said before, but in saying exactly what you think yourself.

There are no original ideas. There are only original people.

I don't go back and read my own stuff too much, but there are times where I second-guess myself and said I could have done something different, like a line of dialogue.

My ideas tend to arise out of nowhere when I'm not intentionally trying to think of something.

There are many selfish people who are extremely original, then they take those pure ideas and use them to raise themselves up, that is an insincere move.

If the only ideas you had were your own, you'd be very limited.
