“When I write a book, I don't have an idea of what I'm doing. I just go...” — Elizabeth Berg Quote

“When I write a book, I don't have an idea of what I'm doing. I just go where it leads.”

“People see 'tradition' as something stultifying, old, and rigid, nothing that has meaning or application for us today. But families shouldn't have to follow the blueprint of the old. They can make family traditions out of whatever makes them feel comfortable and helps bring a sense of order and stability to their lives.”

“Elvis is symbolic of a lot of things, dreams coming true being one of them.”

“A ritual or tradition can be as simple as something you do every night, like read a story to a small child, or something you do weekly, such as go out for Chinese food.”

“I'm nuts about the South - the people, the language, the food, the land, the stories and writers that come from there - but it's hard to know whether I'll use it as a location again.”

“I will be so glad for you to hear not the sounds of gunfire but the sounds of church bells, and of people working in peace.”

“I want to play real characters rather than young leads in very plotty things. I want variety.”

“Sometimes I just wonder if I'm being led by variety. If one film leads me down one path, sometimes I just want to turn around and head the opposite way for the next project. I hope that's not the case, but sometimes I suspect that.”

“On television, I have always been paid a better sum than the main leads to play a babuji.”

“It's important to be successful, and not just because there is competition, but also because it leads to better work for you.”

“An international race in the relevant technologies is getting under way at this point, not necessarily with an understanding of where that race leads in the long run, but strongly motivated by the short-term payoffs.”

“And I can't wait to see where the road leads from here.”
