To know oneself, one should assert oneself.
The secret of getting ahead is getting started.
Either you run the day or the day runs you.
If you've got a talent, protect it.
Always desire to learn something useful.
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
The dog that trots about finds a bone.
By failing to prepare, you are preparing to fail.
Begin to be now what you will be hereafter.
Go for it now. The future is promised to no one.
The thing that's protected me creatively is that the movies have made profits.
The first two movies I directed failed, when I was 21 and 23, and that was the greatest thing that could have happened.
