"The world is a book, and those who do not travel read only one page."

For the past 33 years， I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: 'If today were the last day of my life， would I want to do what I am about to do today？' And whenever the answer has been 'No' for too many days in a row， I know I need to change something.

The more you know about yourself, the more you can give to your characters.

The best stories are those that leave room for the reader to breathe.
