You have not found your place until all your faculties are roused and your whole nature consents and approves of the work you are doing.

The true way to be humble is not to stoop until you are smaller than yourself but to stand at your real height against some higher nature that will show you what the real smallness of your greatness is.

Never measure the height of a mountain until you have reached the top. Then you will see how low it was.

I don't read music. I don't write it. So I wander around on the guitar until something starts to present itself.

Half the time I feel like I'm appealing to the downer freaks out there. We start to play one downer record after another until I begin to get down myself. Give me something from 1960 or something let me get up again. The music of today is for downer freaks and I'm an upper.

Music is forever music should grow and mature with you following you right on up until you die.

I'm into 'The Walking Dead ' 'Shaun of the Dead ' obviously and I've seen all the Romero movies. I am a classic zombie queen. And I love the White Walkers on 'Game of Thrones.' Weirdly it wasn't until pretty late in life that I found my entry point into horror films.

Most movies once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.

I was obsessed with romance. When I was in high school I saw 'Doctor Zhivago' every day from the day it opened until the day it left the theater.

For the first-time novelist you've got to get up at 5:30 in the morning and write until 7 make breakfast and go to work. Or come home and work for an hour. Everybody has an hour in their day somewhere.
