Best time Quote by Clive Barker
““Don't bury personal obsessions. Capitalize on them. ''The connection between personal obsession and the work you do is the most important thing.'' -- Be yourself. ''Singularity is what you need.'' -- Avoid self-censorship: ''We are very self-critical in a way that can be very destructive. In our culture there are voices in our head which have taught us to say, 'Oh, I wouldn't do that if I were you.' Don't ever think about anybody peering over your shoulder.'' -- Don't be afraid to show off, even if you think, ''I'm very close to making a complete fool of myself.'' -- Don't be afraid to entertain. ''I want to entertain. I don't want to lose people. I feel responsible as I write to give people the best time I can.'' -- ''Love your failures'' instead of beating yourself up over them. -- ''Learn to love the process'' of writing. -- Just do it. Barker likes something director Stanley Kubrick said: ''If you want to make a film, pick up a camera.””
