You're the man now, dog!

The key to a woman's heart is an unexpected gift at an unexpected time.

No thinking - that comes later. You must write your first draft with your heart. You rewrite with your head. The first key to writing is… to write, not to think!

Dear Jamal, Someone I once knew wrote that we walk away from our dreams afraid that we may fail or worse yet, afraid we may succeed. You need to know that while I knew so very early that you would realize your dreams, I never imagined I would once again realize my own. Seasons change young man, and while I may have waited until the winter of my life, to see the things I've seen this past year, there is no doubt I would have waited too long, had it not been for you.

How about 5,000 words on why you should stay the fuck out of my house!

Let me ask you a question... those two foul shots at the end of the game... did you miss them, or did you *miss* them?

You don't know a goddamn thing about reason; There are no reasons! Reasons why some of us live and why some of us don't! Fortunately for you, you have decades to figure that out!

Women will sleep with you if you write a bad book.

Writers write things to give readers something to read.

You don't know what to do right now, do you? If you say what you really want to, I may not read any more of this. But if you let me run you down with this racist bullshit… what does that make you?

Bolt the door, if you're coming in.

Whatever we write in this apartment stays in this apartment.
