Great men are meteors, consuming themselves to light the world
If you want to blow up hang around me because all of my friends we would hang out and next thing I know they are major worldwide superstars.

Somebody who moved up very fast was Jim Cameron, who was a young guy out of - I think he came from Arizona, from some community college there, and he was building model spaceships, on a picture called Battle Beyond the Stars.
I entered literary life as a meteor, and I shall leave it like a thunderbolt.
It's an incredible rise to stardom. At 17 you're more likely to get a call from Michael Jackson than England manager Sven Goran Eriksson.
I wanted to be one of those people who have streaks to maintain, who scorch the ground with their intensity. But for now, at least I knew such people, and they needed me, just like comets need tails.
