In very big companies, you find less entrepreneurialism than you really want to see. Success is defined as "don't make a mistake." And you get to be the C.E.O. by outlasting everybody else, then you're there for five or six years, and you want to get your bonus on the way out. ~Bernard L. Schwartz

I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg. I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic. What I want to do is take whatever cinema is considered normal or successful at a particular time and play around with it, to use it as a way of luring audiences in. ~Terry Gilliam

Work hard, be patient, and be a sponge while learning your business. Learn how to take criticism. Follow your gut instincts and don't compromise. ~Simon Cowell

I had got this far, and was thinking of what to say next, and as my habit is, I was pricking the paper idly with my pen. And I thought how, between one dip of the pen and the next, time goes on, and I hurry, drive myself, and speed toward death. We are always dying. I while I write, you while you read, and others while they listen or stop their ears, they are all dying. ~Petrarch
