Television is something the Russians invented to destroy American education.

I believed in studying just because I knew education was a privilege. It was the discipline of study to get into the habit of doing something that you don't want to do.

We discovered that education is not something which the teacher does but that it is a natural process which develops spontaneously in the human being.

I believe that education is all about being excited about something. Seeing passion and enthusiasm helps push an educational message.

Apply yourself. Get all the education you can but then by God do something. Don't just stand there make it happen.

To read a newspaper is to refrain from reading something worth while. The first discipline of education must therefore be to refuse resolutely to feed the mind with canned chatter.

Education is the period during which you are being instructed by somebody you do not know about something you do not want to know.

To me education is a leading out of what is already there in the pupil's soul. To Miss Mackay it is a putting in of something that is not there and that is not what I call education. I call it intrusion.

It is well to read everything of something and something of everything.

I would rather entertain and hope that people learned something than educate people and hope they were entertained.

I want to find someone who's really into something like I'm really into something so that I can support them and we can both cheer each other on. I've got a lot of dreams I want to achieve and I hope someone can cheer me on as I'll cheer them on in their dreams.

Horror for me has to involve some sort of fantasy. Horror is something that is in your dreams or your nightmares.

Perhaps all writers walk such a line. In general - as we all do in our dreams - I believe I put something of myself into all the characters in my novels male as well as female.

I'm very ambitious. I live in reality but I have dreams I want to fulfill - I want to be a director and I've already started my own production company. But I also have a measure of success that I keep to myself. It's something very personal to me.

I knew I wanted to do something creative. I didn't think I'd have the luxury of doing something like that because I didn't know anyone who had pursued anything they really adored but I had dreams for singing or writing.

Well my thoughts about California are kind of mythological. To me as well as being a real place it's a place where people go to find something - to find happiness or to realize their dreams. So it has that kind of quality of heroism and heartache and Australia has that as well.

Screenplays I didn't really care about journalism travel books getting my writer friends to write about their dreams or something. I just determined to write the books I had to write.
