“People who think they're generous to a fault usually think that's their only fault.”

“The generality of mankind is lazy. What distinguishes men of genuine achievement from the rest of us is not so much their intellectual powers and aptitudes as their curiosity, their energy, their fullest use of their potentialities. Nobody really knows how smart or talented he is until he finds the incentives to use himself to the fullest. God has given us more than we know what to do with.”

“If you have a good self-esteem, you can be generous, you can give back and you can be productive in the world.”

“I'm still an English professor at Rice University here in Houston. They've been very generous in letting me on a very long leash to just work on 'The Passage' and its sequels.”

“I don't think films about working class people are sad at all; I think they're funny and lively and invigorating and warm and generous and full of good things.”
