A lie told often enough becomes the truth.
I am the Way the Truth and the Life. No one comes to the Father except through me.
When I sit at my table to write I never know what it's going to be until I'm under way. I trust in inspiration which sometimes comes and sometimes doesn't. But I don't sit back waiting for it. I work every day.
Your crew becomes your family and you trust the director and the other actors on the set and it's a very safe place.
It's difficult to get started-when it comes to dealing with an unknown quantity people are reluctant to trust their own opinion. It helps if two or three people give you a boost.
When it comes to locations I'm one of those crazy authors who has to see it touch it taste it before I trust myself to recreate it for my readers. Having said that visiting a locked-down pediatric psych ward was the most intimidating research I've ever done - and I've visited maximum security prisons shooting galleries bone collections etc.
Nobody has ever denied that when it comes to his trade - gigolo - John Forbes Kerry is one of the all-time greats. He's in the Gigolo Hall of Fame. See a really good gigolo might snag one heiress in a lifetime with a nine-figure trust fund. Kerry has married two. When it comes to gigolos he's Steve Jobs.
Now where people are - at least the people I talk to - they are focused on issues of trust. Accountability also comes up to make sure that this doesn't happen again.
When you play a concerto with a small orchestra you don't feel it is as important as Carnegie Hall. You try to work out all the little problems. Once that's all done trust comes in.
You must trust and believe in people or life becomes impossible.
A travel book is about someone who goes somewhere travels on the ground sees something and spends quite a lot of time doing it and has a hard time and then comes back and writes about it. It's not about inventing.

I suppose in a way this has become part of my soul. It is a symbol of my life. Whatever I have done that really matters I've done wearing it. When the time comes it will be in this that I journey forth. What greater honor could come to an American and a soldier?

In every battle there comes a time when both sides consider themselves beaten then he who continues the attack wins.
There is a time for risky love. There is a time for extravagant gestures. There is a time to pour out your affections on one you love. And when the time comes - seize it don't miss it.
Everything comes in time to those who can wait.
Riches and the things that are necessary in life are not evil in themselves. And all of us face cares and troubles in this life. The sin comes in the time and energy we spend in pursuing these things at the expense of neglecting Christ.
There comes a time when deceit and defiance must be seen for what they are. At that point a gathering danger must be directly confronted. At that point we must show that beyond our resolutions is actual resolve.
Time itself comes in drops.
Oh I think there are a lot of people who would be buying and selling online today that go up there and they get the information but then when it comes time to type in their credit card they think twice because they're not sure about how that might get out and what that might mean for them.

There comes a time in the affairs of man when he must take the bull by the tail and face the situation.
I'm happy that I feel a little less out of place in filmmaking than I once was - but it's almost impossible for a playwright in the U.S. to make a living. You can have a play like I did with 'Angels ' and it still generates income for me but it's not enough for me to live on and have health insurance.
