Be thine own palace, or the world's thy jail.
Quality is not an act, it is a habit.
Never complain and never explain.
To be a good loser is to learn how to win.
Leap, and the net will appear.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Always desire to learn something useful.
I can, therefore I am.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Well done is better than well said.
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.
