Checklists Quotations

Making checklists of things you're looking for in a person is the numero uno thing you can do to guarantee you'll be alone forever.

I don't have a checklist. Whatever material excites me, they'll call for a certain genre or combination of genres. It'll come naturally and I'll be eager to learn how that thing works. I learn the rules, and I'll probably break some of them.

The checklist is one of the most high powered productivity tool ever discovered.
