I think that Tyler Perry’s genius really has been to tap into the domestic market.

Everybody always asks me, ‘How much can you bench?’ I’m like, ‘I don’t know. I don’t lift weights.’ Now that I’m in college, we lift weights every once in a while, but not maxing out.

I just like to write. You can’t play basketball 16 hours a day, so it’s just working out, working on your body, take a nap, watch some TV, watch some games, and write. Baron Davis Read Quote

For me, writing for younger audiences and writing for adults uses two different halves of my brain. Sara Shepard Read Quote
My art flatters nobody by imitation; it courts nobody by smoothness, tickles nobody by petiteness… there is no finish in nature. John Constable Read Quote
The church was everything: our social engagements, Sunday morning, Sunday evening. Wednesday night was the hour of power. We had Bible study on certain days. Saturday afternoon was choir practice. I wanted desperately to be a good Christian. Leslie Jordan Read Quote
