"You have to be strong enough to say if the culture doesn't work, don't buy it."
"At my age, I realize that my most precious possession is time, and I've got too much unfinished work to do to spend even a minute talking about myself."
"I am not interested in genres. I am interested in doing the best work I can in whatever medium."
