• If you will stop all searching right now and tell the truth to yourself,
  you will know what is known in the core of your bones.
  You will know it with no image of it, no concept of it, no thought of it.
  You will know it as that which has eternally been here.
  And you will know it as yourself.

• Wishing is good for us.
  Daydreams, fantasies, castles in the air, and aspirations
  All drive us forward,
  Impel us to make things happen.
  They also tell us a lot about ourselves.
  Our wishes come straight from our core,
  And they are loaded with vital information
  About who we are and who we can become.
  Keeping track of our wishes
  Helps us tap into the energy
  That propels us to go after our happiness.

• The brain processes meaning before detail. Providing the gist, the core concept, first was like giving a thirsty person a tall glass of water. And the brain likes hierarchy.

And then you will see that 40 percent improvement in understanding.

• You're looking, moment by moment and scene by scene, how you can tell the most interesting story. So, we had this great short and we knew that we had a story about a boy and his dog. Because we had that pure emotional core, we could go on crazy tangents and always come back to Victor and Sparky. When I wrote in stuff like Weird Girl and the cat poop, Dutch Day and the windmill, it felt like it was part of Tim's universe.

• I take his [Theodore Geisel] legacy very, very seriously. I know others may disagree because he's made such an impact on so many people that response to work becomes very personal, so people will have different points of view. But, at the core of this, I take the protection and the extension of his legacy very, very seriously. It's a very important part of my life.

• I'm now unemployed. It's a weird feeling with no work, but at least there's still golf. Standup comedy is like my core, it's what I do. But I want to be a pro golfer. It's a love/hate relationship with golf. I can come away feeling so serene, and yet, it's the thing that I can let get to me to throw a club and say curses that don't even exist. I'm obsessed with something that won't let me master it. I don't know. I need therapy.
