I struggled to learn basic skills, get a grip on markets, find my own unique voice, create story lines and come up to speed with the industry. I struggled for ten years before having any success. ↗

I took all of my rejection letters - there must have been thousands of them in a huge box - and I went out on the curb and burned them all, crying. ↗

Somewhere along the line, I realized that I liked telling stories, and I decided that I would try writing. Ten years later, I finally got a book published. It was hard. I had no skills. I knew nothing about the business of getting published. So I had to keep working at it. ↗

You can get through very serious and sometimes horrible and sometimes embarrassing and very awkward situations with humor. It gives us a way out. ↗

Words are the children of reason and, therefore, can't explain it. They really can't translate feeling because they're not part of it. That's why it bugs me when people try to analyze jazz as an intellectual theorem. It's not. It's feeling. ↗

I decided to make 'Captain America' because I realized I wasn't doing the film because it terrified me. You can't make decisions based on fear. ↗

I don't know any form of art or entertainment that can affect people the way movies can. I know it sounds ridiculous, but they can change your world. They can change your views. ↗

I like girls who are self-deprecating. I like girls who make fun of themselves. If you can't poke fun at yourself, what are you? I just want someone with a good soul. That's about it. The rest I'm really flexible on. ↗

I weep at everything. I love things so much - I just never want to dilute that. ↗
