作家必须相信他所做的事是世界上最重要的事。即使他知道这不是真的，他也必须坚持这种幻觉。
The writer must believe that what he is doing is the most important thing in the world. And he must hold to this illusion even when he knows it is not true.
The artist must be a dreamer of the impossible.

The essence of power is the ability to make others do what they do not want to do.
The best leaders are those who serve others.
I want my fans to know how much I appreciate them. I wouldn't be here without them.
