The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
What you do today can improve all your tomorrows.
Never complain and never explain.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Things do not happen. Things are made to happen.
Always desire to learn something useful.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Without hard work, nothing grows but weeds.
Wherever you are - be all there.
To me, it all comes down to things being character-driven. It's hard for me to look beyond that. CG and all this cool stuff - so be it. But to me, it pretty much begins and ends with character-driven plots rather than technologically-driven plots.
