When I worked with Bill Nighy on 'Wrath of the Titans,' he said to me, 'There's one thing you can promise me, and that's never, ever, ever read your reviews.'

I always tell my students to complicate your characters: never make it easy for the reader. Nobody is ever one thing. That's what makes characters compelling.

The one thing I regret is that I will never have time to read all the books I want to read.

The one thing you've gotta do is that you need to always do the best you can do, no matter what the given situation, no matter what comes up against you. You do the best you can do, and you never give up. Never quit.

There is just one thing I can promise you about the outer-space program - your tax-dollar will go further.

All of my lyrics are based on the one thing that's never failed me, and that's the Word of God.
