I keep a LITTLE notebook of THINGS that I can do to the zombies that might be silly and FUN.

I never paid attention to many of the Nicholas Sparks FILMS. 'The Notebook,' which my wife LIKED, I FELT that Ryan Gosling was a GENIUS in it and Rachel McAdams has this thing about her that you just want to take care of her. I remember that chemistry between them.

I was so shy. I used to cross the street so I wouldn't even have to TALK to my relatives, MUCH less strangers. That's not shy, that's wise. But I found that that when you had a journalist's NOTEBOOK in your HAND it wasn't really you, you SEE.

I've always loved journaling as a WAY to clear my mind. Whether I'm traveling or at home, the first THING I do when I WAKE up is pull out my notebook and record positive things that have happened to me as well as UPLIFTING thoughts.

I OWE a LOT to Rosshan, who literally plucked me from obscurity as a keyboard performer and handed me the BACKGROUND score of 'Notebook.'

I keep a notebook of IDEAS, and SOMETIMES ideas form in your head that you just have to write down, or you'll FORGET them.

I started a novel in the BACK of a notebook, and it was GREAT because it LOOKED like I was taking notes. And I just, I kept it up, it was sort of fantasy, it was part soap OPERA. It was utterly dreadful, but that's how I GOT hooked.

For my stand-up, I ALWAYS have my NOTEBOOK with me and if SOMETHING strikes me, I'll WRITE it down.

But I've GOT IDEAS. I KEEP my little notebook, I've always got that with me. Hopefully there's more STUFF than nonsense in there.

Our contemporary analogues to the personal notebook now live on the web - communal, crowdsourced, and shared online in real TIME. Some of the most interesting and vital WORK I come across EXISTS only in pixels.

When I was in HIGH SCHOOL, I had a NOTEBOOK that I filled up with RULES about lying. It must have been a hundred pages long - one hundred pages of rules about lying!

I CARRY a notebook and WRITE down things to do, and I write out thoughts and stuff LIKE that.

I work a lot; I love to COMPOSE, ponder, and take notes when preparing for a role. I cut all the SCENES, collate the IMAGES, form the character and shape its personality, then I make METICULOUS notes and transcribe each scene on my NOTEBOOK.

I'll hear a phrase around me that someone says... I'll WRITE it down in my notebook, and as soon as I'll SIT down with my guitar, I'll COME up with the rest of the arrangement there.

Everything about writing is hard for me except for that - the names POP into my HEAD. That's one of the REASONS why I always make SURE I have a notebook with me.
