People need motivation to do anything. I don't think human beings learn anything without desperation. |
The money can be a hindrance to someone like me because the danger is that you start thinking, 'Is that a $20 million take?' That kind of thing, and being self-critical. |
If you've got a talent, protect it. |
I used to draw a lot. If my mother would ask me to do something else, I'd have a hairy conniption. I'd just go crazy. |
I don't care if people think I am an overactor, as long as they enjoy what I do. People who think that would call Van Gogh an overpainter. |
I feel like I want to take care of everyone and I also feel this terrible guilt if I am unable to. And I have felt this way ever since all this success started. |
Ever since I started to get recognition I've picked out certain fans and reverse-stalked them. |
Green Eggs and Ham was the story of my life. I wouldn't eat a thing when I was a kid, but Dr. Seuss inspired me to try cauliflower! |
Creative people don't behave very well generally. If you're looking for examples of good relationships in show business, you're gonna be depressed real fast. I don't have time for anything else right now but work and my daughter. She's my first priority. |
