“Writing: When Rock Around the Clock was shown in the cinemas in 1956, teenagers got so excited by the music that there was dancing in the aisles. Imagine that you are a newspaper reporter who has just been to see the film. Write your 'story' for tomorrow's paper.”

“A parable: The Monk and the Minister Two close boyhood friends grow up and go their separate ways. One becomes a humble monk, the other a rich and powerful minister to the king. Years later they meet. As they catch up, the portly minister (in his fine robes) takes pity on the thin and shabby monk. Seeking to help, he says: “You know, if you could learn to cater to the king, you wouldn’t have to live on rice and beans.” To which the monk replies: “If you could learn to live on rice and beans, you wouldn’t have to cater to the king.” Most all of us fall somewhere between the two. As for me, it is better to be closer to the monk.”
