A lot of time you write out of some unconscious place. I try to trust what is coming and where it wants to take me.

These are very subtle things of course and I don't expect everyone to pick them up consciously but I think that there is something there that you must be able to feel there is an energy at work that I must trust my audience will be able to pick up at some level.

Trust your hunches. They're usually based on facts filed away just below the conscious level.

Soul travel can be a general expansion of awareness and knowingness or conscious experience of the heavenly worlds.

Not only does travel give us a new system of reckoning it also brings to the fore unknown aspects of our own self. Our consciousness being broadened and enriched we shall judge ourselves more correctly.

To be a Negro in this country and to be relatively conscious is to be in a rage almost all the time.

Consciousness is our only reprieve from Time.

I've tried to make 'Strictly Ballroom' impossible to date. It does feel a bit '80s but I consciously made sure there was no technology in the movie that could date it.

Technology has become as ubiquitous as the air we breathe so we are no longer conscious of its presence.

A sign now of success with a certain audience when you do a short comedy piece anywhere is that it gets on YouTube and gets around. It's always something you're thinking about unconsciously.
