I've been very lucky, from the beginning. I've found that as long as you're fundamentally good - as long as you're not being bad to people - people give you a lot of room to be yourself, because being yourself is being honest. And that's what people want to see. -- Andrew Mason

I did not intend to stay; I had no experience in the United States - I may have been here less than 24 hours - but I knew I would never get inside there.

And then it's more easy for relationships. -- Melanie Laurent

If I get a good theme going, I feel lucky. -- Jeff Kinney
