I believe that love and laughter can only happen when one person takes the time to think about what would cause the other person to feel good.

The stories that I want to tell especially as a director don't necessarily have a perfect ending because the older you get the more you appreciate a good day versus a happy ending. You understand that life continues on the next day the reality of things is what happens tomorrow.

Life takes its path and sometimes there are people to blame. Of course there are bad people in this world. Good bad it happens unfortunately. But in a way I think if there was more focus on the good more good would happen.

Good things happen when you meet strangers.

I question myself every day. That's what I still find motivating about this. I don't have the answers I don't pretend that I do just because I won the match. Just keep fighting and maybe something good happens.

Joy is what happens to us when we allow ourselves to recognize how good things really are.

In the final analysis the questions of why bad things happen to good people transmutes itself into some very different questions no longer asking why something happened but asking how we will respond what we intend to do now that it happened.

All good books have one thing in common - they are truer than if they had really happened.

As individuals people are inherently good. I have a somewhat more pessimistic view of people in groups. And I remain extremely concerned when I see what's happening in our country which is in many ways the luckiest place in the world. We don't seem to be excited about making our country a better place for our kids.

Human felicity is produced not as much by great pieces of good fortune that seldom happen as by little advantages that occur every day.
