You either have to write or you shouldn't be writing. That's... - Joss Whedon

"I write to give myself strength. I write to be the characters that I am not. I write to explore all the things I'm afraid of."

"Bottom line is, even if you see 'em coming, you're not ready for the big moments. No one asks for their life to change, not really. But it does. So what are we, helpless? Puppets? No. The big moments are gonna come. You can't help that. It's what you do afterwards that counts. That's when you find out who you are."

"Make it dark, make it grim, make it tough, but then, for the love of God, tell a joke."

"Humor keeps us alive. Humor and food. Don't forget food. You can go a week without laughing."

"If you can't run, you crawl. If you can't crawl-- you find someone to carry you."
