William Hazlitt Zitate

There are few things in which we deceive ourselves more than in the esteem we profess to entertain for our friends. It is little better than a piece of quackery. The truth is, we think of them as we please, that is, as they please or displease us.

Es gibt wenige Dinge, bei denen wir uns mehr täuschen als in der Wertschätzung, die wir unseren Freunden gegenüber unterhalten. Es ist wenig besser als ein Quacksalberei. Die Wahrheit ist, wir denken an sie, wie wir wollen, das heißt, wie sie uns gefallen oder missfallen.

On telly, there's been a move towards entertainment - with some very high-powered, fast-moving dramas. Then we have the Internet, where we get our information but it's all in bite-size pieces. I think the documentary, as a form, actually speaks to what's missing.

I think it's important to create an atmosphere where actors feel like they can try things out. It doesn't mean that I'll take every suggestion, but I want there to be some room for actors to grow.

The more alone I am, the more focused I can get. I've written things with people, some of which I liked and others I think are total travesties. Collaborating is trying to make a piece of music and get someone else to come up with the ideas. What's the fun of that?

Alex Chilton

For me, it's easier to like more things than to dislike them; I'm not a critic in that sense. I find it easier to like more, to be more open and enjoy more things, which has given me more opportunities.

David LaChapelle

Richard Bach
