Quotes about advice by Producer
"Most authors liken the struggle of writing to something mighty and macho, like wrestling a bear. Writing a book is nothing like that. It is a small, slow crawl to the finish line. Honestly, I have moments when I don't even care if anyone reads this book. I just want to finish it."

"Try putting your iPhones down every once in a while and look at people's faces."
