I love everybody. One of the great things about me is that I have a very positive attitude.

I separated from the Southern Baptists when they adopted the discriminatory attitude towards women because I believe what Paul taught in Galatians that there is no distinction in God's eyes between men and women slaves and masters Jews and non-Jews - everybody is created equally in the eyes of God.

There's always the motivation of wanting to win. Everybody has that. But a champion needs in his attitude a motivation above and beyond winning.

If somebody says no to you or if you get cut Michael Jordan was cut his first year but he came back and he was the best ever. That is what you have to have. The attitude that I'm going to show everybody I'm going to work hard to get better and better.

Celebrity doesn't have anything to do with art or craft. It's about being rich and thinking that you're better than everybody else.

Science fiction is any idea that occurs in the head and doesn't exist yet but soon will and will change everything for everybody and nothing will ever be the same again. As soon as you have an idea that changes some small part of the world you are writing science fiction. It is always the art of the possible never the impossible.

Not everybody trusts paintings but people believe photographs.

See the 'On the Road' that came out in 1957 was censored. A lot of the honesty of it the bitter honesty is in the original scroll version that came out in 2007 on the 50-year anniversary. Back then there was so much post-Second World War fear that was imposed on everybody - 'You must live life this way' - and these guys were bored.

Everybody kind of perceives me as being angry. It's not anger it's motivation.

Anybody can become angry - that is easy but to be angry with the right person and to the right degree and at the right time and for the right purpose and in the right way - that is not within everybody's power and is not easy.
