I always thought I wanted to play professionally, and I always knew that to do that I'd have to make a lot of sacrifices.

I don't write to be happy, I write to be free.

Loneliness is the price you pay for freedom.

In business, you have to be willing to take risks, but they must be calculated risks.

痛苦是上帝不会让它在太脆弱的枝干上成熟的果实。
