“ Don’t ever forget that you’re a citizen of this world, and there are things you can do to lift the human spirit, things that are easy, things that are free, things that you can do every day. Civility, respect, kindness, character. How you live matters…Rehearsal’s over. You’re going out there now, you’re going to do this thing. How you live matters. You’re going to fall down, but the world doesn’t care how many times you fall down, as long as it’s one fewer than the number of times you get back up.

“

“i’ve always loved intelligent girls, no matter how they look, to be able to hold a conversation with someone is so important. the moment someone acts dumb, i lose interest. i think about the subtext and layers of a person when i design. i design for someone who has interest in the space around her, who is aware of her relationship with the world, someone a little evolved, a little concerned. i think putting more women in power will help solve a lot of problems in the world.

it troubles me that the media celebrate women acting like bimbos on tv — it’s not cute, it’s ridiculous.”

“ Read, read, read. Read everything—trash, classics, good and bad, and see how they do it. Just like a carpenter who works as an apprentice and studies the master. Read! You’ll absorb it. Then write. If it is good, you’ll find out. If it’s not, throw it out the window.

in order that people may be happy in their work, these three things are needed: they must be fit for it, they must not do too much of it, and they must have a sense of success in it.

“ If you don’t live a life in service of a greater good, you’ve gotta at least die a death in service of a greater good, you know? And I fear I won’t get either a life or a death that means anything.

“ For most of life, nothing wonderful happens. If you don’t enjoy getting up and working and finishing your work and sitting down to a meal with family or friends, then the chances are that you’re not going to be very happy. If someone bases his happiness or unhappiness on major events like a great new job, huge amounts of money, a flawlessly happy marriage or a trip to Paris, that person isn’t going to be happy much of the time. If, on the other hand, happiness depends on a good breakfast, flowers in the yard, a drink or a nap, then we are more likely to live with quite a bit of happiness.
