Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Know or listen to those who know.
Be gentle to all and stern with yourself.
If you can dream it, you can do it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
If you're going through hell, keep going.
The wise does at once what the fool does at last.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
Be kind whenever possible. It is always possible.
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.
