The dead of midnight is the noon of thought.
I had been very impressed with the voiceover of ‘Apocalypse Now,’ with Martin Sheen’s voice. That was a great voiceover; it really internalized the Martin Sheen character, who was essentially fairly low key and didn’t say a lot during the whole movie. But he thought a lot, so I always thought that was really great.
Everything starts with a thought. Your thoughts become things, and anything that your mind can conceive, you can achieve.

Technology can be our best friend, and technology can also be the biggest party pooper of our lives.

It was times like these when I thought my father, who hated guns and had never been to any wars, was the bravest man who ever lived.

Growing up, my parents were Roman Catholic – strict Catholics – from New Orleans. I understood the idea in the principle of spirituality. I noticed it in the stories that I read.
