My gut feeling is that paper and ink are going to be with us for a LONG time yet, and in substantial quantities, THOUGH CERTAINLY books are now going to be AVAILABLE in other forms.

If it doesn't feel ORGANIC to the AUDIENCE, you gotta trust your gut.

I FOLLOWED my GUT and my subconscious told me the KIND of MUSIC I WANTED to create. But it wasn't easy.

I still USE the GUITAR pretty much just to HIDE my gut.

When 'American Born Chinese' started getting a lot of attention, I freaked out a LITTLE bit because I realized that up until then I had just been doing comics by FOLLOWING my gut. I didn't really know much about plot STRUCTURE or anything; I kind of just followed my gut.

I THINK it is important to recall the context of those challenging times immediately following 9/11. For me, I had just RETURNED to WASHINGTON from an overseas posting and I reported for duty on the morning of 9/11. I KNEW in my GUT when I saw the video of the first plane hitting the tower in Manhattan that it was bin Laden.

What you NEED to do is get that tape measure out, and start measuring that gut. Then you start working out and you start eating properly till that gut GETS down close to it was when you were in your 20's. Then you'll find out what your WEIGHT should be.

When I left Manchester I just took that as a challenge - to TRY to PROVE people wrong. And when you do, there is no BETTER feeling than that. I knew in my gut it was the right TIME to move and I just BELIEVED.

I don't make DECISIONS with my head ANYMORE. If I don't get the go ahead with my GUT, I usually BACK out.

If you laugh, we just do another take. LAUGHTER is too RARE NOWADAYS. If you can bust a gut, let it go, and we'll just go BACK to one.

I don't consider myself bossy, but I do know what I WANT. You know, I have a gut feeling about a PIECE of MATERIAL, but I've NEVER envisioned myself as the director on top of the HILL with a megaphone in my hand, screaming at 1,000 extras.
