Fit Quote by Shane Black
“What I've learned being a writer is to just basically not buckle - not be belligerent, not be angry, not throw fits. Though there are times where you have to stand up and yell.

I hope that it's left behind a more passionate person, not a meaner person. So I guess that's what I've learned.”
