In these troubled uncertain times we don't need more command and control we need better means to engage everyone's intelligence in solving challenges and crises as they arise.

Everyone is a genius at least once a year. The real geniuses simply have their bright ideas closer together.

We can't help everyone but everyone can help someone.

I've always felt that what I have going for me is not my imagination because everyone has an imagination. What I have is a relentlessly controlled imagination. What looks like wild invention is actually quite carefully calculated.

If everyone is thinking alike then somebody isn't thinking.

I've learned to have a sense of humor about myself. Lord knows everyone else does!

I certainly didn't say while writing 'Gossip Girl ' 'Oh this is going to be big!' It was really like 'Oh god everyone's gong to hate these people! They're so bratty!' But I actually think what is so appealing about them is the humor in them.

I genuinely liked all of the cast members very much. Steve had a wicked sense of humor. I remember Russell coming to my rescue once. I watched Eric evolve before everyone's eyes. Maurice loved what he did so. He treated his character with respect down to the costuming.

The darker the film the more vital everyone's sense of humor is on set.

I realize that humor isn't for everyone. It's only for people who want to have fun enjoy life and feel alive.
