我们是孤独的动物。我们一生都在努力减少孤独感。我们古老的方法之一是讲述一个故事，恳求听者说——并感受到——“是的，事情就是这样，或者至少我是这样感觉的。”
We are lonesome animals. We spend all our life trying to be less lonesome. One of our ancient methods is to tell a story begging the listener to say — and to feel — 'Yes, that's the way it is, or at least that's the way I feel it.'
写作是一种治疗方式；有时我想知道那些不写作、不绘画、不创作音乐的人如何逃离人类与生俱来的疯狂、忧郁和恐慌。
I believe in the power of storytelling to change the world.
"Acting is not about being someone different. It's finding the similarity in what is apparently different, then finding myself in there."
The test of a good building is how it makes you feel when you're inside it.
我们必定是朝着自己的目标有意识地走了一部分路程，然后在不知不觉中一跃而取得了成功。我们做得最好或最完美的事情，都以经长时间反复练习得到充分掌握为前提，最终在不经意中像树上飘落的树叶一般降临到我们头上。我们最后要做的都在无意识之中完成了。
