The secret to success is to make your vocation your vacation.

Do not reveal what you have thought upon doing, but by wise council keep it secret being determined to carry it into execution.

Work is a necessary evil to be avoided.

Suffering is a big informer, a big catalyst for creation. You take your sadness, your despair, your sense of injustice, and you put it in your work.

I don't really do that whole 'single life' thing. I'm kind of heads down and get things done.

Fame is a by-product. It's not a goal. What matters is loving your work and loving what you do.
