Im not in control of my muse. My muse does all the work. – Ray Bradbury
Facts quite often, I fear to confess, like lawyers, put me to sleep at noon. Not theories, however. Theories are invigorating and tonic. Give me an ounce of fact and I will produce you a ton of theory by tea this afternoon. That is, after all, my job. – Ray Bradbury
I know youve heard it a thousand times before. But its true – hard work pays off. If you want to be good, you have to practice, practice, practice. If you dont love something, then dont do it. – Ray Bradbury
By the way, movies are like sporting events in that youre as good as the movie youre in. You can sit in a room for 20 years and go do a movie and you can just kill in it and you move to the head of the line again. By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if theyre dreck, its nothing. – Albert Brooks
