Man is made or unmade by himself. By the right choice he ascends. As a being of power intelligence and love and the lord of his own thoughts he holds the key to every situation.

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

Almost every college playwright or sketch or improv comedian was sort of aware of Christopher Durang - even kids in high school. His short plays were so accessible to younger people and I think that was inspirational to me.

Sometimes surely truth is closer to imagination or to intelligence to love than to fact? To be accurate is not to be right.

When it came to political power blacks need not apply. Add to this steaming stew the growing tensions over the Vietnam War and the movement for civil rights and you had plenty of elements to fire the imagination of a novice journalist.

Anyone who said he wasn't afraid during the civil rights movement was either a liar or without imagination. I was scared all the time. My hands didn't shake but inside I was shaking.

I'll confess right here that I secretly wish I'd have drawn a strip about a little boy with a fake tiger going for adventures throughout the universe in spaceships of his imagination.

I hope that I'm sexy in a different kind of way than I think that a lot of girls are right now. I think a lot of girls in the public eye especially musical artists are just kind of objectified a little bit and wearing super-skimpy outfits and leaving nothing to the imagination.

The Chinese art world does not exist. In a society that restricts individual freedoms and violates human rights anything that calls itself creative or independent is a pretence. It is impossible for a totalitarian society to create anything with passion and imagination.

All the works of man have their origin in creative fantasy. What right have we then to depreciate imagination.
