“Love. Fall in love and stay in love. Write only what you love, and love what you write. The key word is love. You have to get up in the morning and write something you love, something to live for.”

Do what you love and love what you do. Don’t do anything for money. Everything should be for love.

In order to be creative, you don’t have to be original.

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything.

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything.

Love is the answer to everything. It’s the only reason to do anything.

I don’t need an alarm clock. My ideas wake me.

If you love people you criticize them, and if you don’t love them you don’t criticize them, you let them go to hell, don’t you? To help any kind of friendship, your marriage, your children, you criticize because you love.

I’ve learned that by doing things, things get done.

Don’t think about things, just do them; don’t predict them, just make them.

The important thing is to be in love with something.

We have everything we need to be happy, but we aren’t happy. Something’s missing.

Sometimes I think I understand everything. Then I regain consciousness.

Write a thousand words a day and in three years you’ll be a writer!

A life’s work should be based on love.

You have to learn to take rejection not as an indication of personal failing but as a wrong address.

We are cups, constantly and quietly being filled. The trick is knowing how to tip ourselves over and let the beautiful stuff out.

It’s okay to bloom alone.

Go where you just don’t know. That’s where the magic happens.

I am gonna try again and again, because the moment I give up, is the moment I fail.

I’m often moved by the circumstances around some of my characters, but I don’t think I’ve actually cried watching myself.

Determination can change your mind. Determination can change your heart. Determination can change your life altogether.

If I fail, I try again, and again, and again.

Learn the rules, and then forget them.

Life isn’t trying to break you down. It’s trying to break you open.
