• I have control over every single frame on Blu-ray. If I want a scene bluer, I get that scene bluer. Originally, there was some fluctuation with the prints. If you made a thousand, or a few thousand prints, there is no control over any of that. But now I can make a master using the digital process.

• The way I write is this: I write about a thousand words a day, a little bit more. The next morning, I read those thousand words and cursorily edit that. Then I write the next thousand.

• If I sing "you broke my heart, you left me flat," everyone knows exactly what that means - they know the story. But if I sing a line that's plaintive or wailing, people can experience their own set of emotions and their own story. Each of us might give that phrase a different meaning. It's open to interpretation, and one song becomes a thousand songs. I love that.

• I think taking vacations and turning off the phone and only doing emails or social media for a specific short amount of time helps with work/life balance.

• If a hundred or a thousand people, all of the same
  age, of the same constitution and habits, were suddenly
  seized by the same illness, and one half of them were to
  place themselves under the care of doctors, such as they
  are in our time, whilst the other half entrusted themselves
  to Nature and to their own discretion, I have not the
  slightest doubt that there would be more cases of death
  amongst the former, and more cases of recovery among
  the latter.
