- "For some reason I can’t explain, artist and musicians tend to look younger than our age. Being in music, you need this youthful sense of discovery and wonder for what you’re doing and keep your imagination open. That’s a youthful way of looking at life and I think that reflects in how you age."― Joshua Bell
- "I don’t necessarily start with the beginning of the book. I just start with the part of the story that’s most vivid in my imagination and work forward and backward from there."― Beverly Cleary
- "I write from my imagination, not from what I’ve read in books or seen on TV or to make money. I wrote from an idea I was passionate about."― Dirk Benedict
