The Next One Quotes - Page 5

• As you get older there shouldn't be anything you won't try. The payoff is that you open up whole new avenues that are fun.

It's a waste of this life not to live this life. What's next is anybody's guess.

• I love to play with language; make it do tricks, turn a word inside out to see if it's got a hidden meaning tucked away somewhere, or perhaps find that it's capable of an extra entendre or two. . . .

No matter how many times you plot a script successfully, the next one, representing new and uncharted territory, convinces you that you really don't know how to do it at all.
