Meg Ryan

Maybe that whole love thing is just a grown-up version of Santa Claus; just a myth we've been fed since childhood.

Inspiration comes unawares, from unaccountable sources that have nothing to do with planning or intelligence.

They simply happened to be born with that fortunate, subconscious equipment of theirs, and the mystery exists independently of intelligence or ambition.

When I have just sat down and tried to write the lyrics of a song, usually about half of it sounds like bullshit. I just have to go away from something and come back to it again later.
