Happy the man whose wish and care a few paternal acres bound, content to breathe his native air in his own ground.

The Japanese have a strong tendency to suppress their own feelings. That's the Japanese character. They kill their own emotions.
I somehow sensed when I was a teenager that I wanted to do my own work. I was quite clear that I didn't want to be an interpretative kind of artist. I had an intuition about wanting to create my own form, in one way or another, whatever that would be.
The USDA is not our ally here. We have to take matters into our own hands, not only by advocating for a better diet for everyone - and that's the hard part - but by improving our own. And that happens to be quite easy. Less meat, less junk, more plants.
I didn't need clothes. I was allowed the opportunity to act out moments you don't get the opportunity to experience in your own life, let alone as a character in a film. I didn't feel naked.
Have faith in your own thoughts.
Perfectionists are their own devils.
I've been told by the prosecutors and by my own attorneys I should go to law school. I guess I have a knack for it.

What I think happens, and that you have to acknowledge though, is that a director uses a book as a launching pad for his own work and that's always very flattering.
