I came at age in the '60s and initially my hopes and dreams were invested in politics and the movements of the time - the anti-war movement the civil rights movement. I worked on Bobby Kennedy's campaign for president as a teenager in California and the night he was killed.

'The Cut' is going to give someone the opportunity of a lifetime and help that person achieve his or her dreams.

I began my career with infantile dreams of becoming a composer.

As a kid this is what I wanted my life to be. Not in my wildest dreams did I ever dare to dream that it would be this.

The worst thing you can do to a kid is tell them that their dreams are invalid.

I think dreams can come true but not necessarily like fairy-tales. It's not always so perfect like that.

You have to be vigorous. That's the only way you are going to get it because everybody has dreams and everybody has goals but the only people who achieve them are the ones that go after it and don't take no for an answer.

I think I am done with Wikipedia for the time being. But I have a secret hope. Someone recently proposed a Wikimorgue - a bin of broken dreams where all rejects could still be read as long as they weren't libelous or otherwise illegal.

I'm sure I have a process but it mostly takes place in my dreams.

To provoke dreams of terror in the slumber of prosperity has become the moral duty of literature.
