Zitat des Tages über Erhalten / Gotten:
The margin for making mistakes has gotten much smaller. In a commodity economy, it's hard to kill off your business. You still have the mine. You still have oil wells. You can always rebuild. In a knowledge economy, if you make a mistake, you're in trouble.

I was very down as a teenager, very upset because I had gotten hurt in a car accident. But my dad was a source of strength. He used to say, 'It's the character with strength that God gives the most challenges to.' I've thought about that so many times in my life when things didn't go right.
And now oddly I'm getting sexier parts than I've ever gotten.

I would have gone to law school, or gotten a psychology degree. I wasn't interested in sleeping on a futon forever. And what happened is I walked into auditions, and I had nothing to lose, because I had a backup plan.
There's always been a lot of pressure and tension on the line. If 'Pi' didn't work out, I have no idea what my career would be. I don't think I would have gotten another shot at it. If 'Requiem for a Dream' didn't work out, they would have called me a 'one-hit wonder with a sophomore slump'.

I've always really been into science, and in the last five years I've gotten into theoretical physics and the origins of the universe.
I've also gotten messages from men and women who are not the most attractive, in their minds, or are self-conscious about their weight.

Well, I've just gotten accustomed to just being in Canada for five and a half months a year.

I'd love to do more TV, but I'd love to get into more feature films. I'd also love to go back to the stage when the time and opportunity is right. I haven't gotten to do a lot of that here in L.A., but my favorite thing to do is live theatre. I'd love to actually have a career where you can kind of move in and out of all of those mediums.
I've always gotten along well with Texans. You've got to.
The toughest part was doing it in front of the world and recognizing that you had gotten to a point where if you didn't do something you were going to die.
I was 30 years old and this girl I knew found out I had never gotten high. Nobody had ever told me about marijuana.
The money part is one of the most difficult things. Coppola always said I should do a tango movie. If it hadn't been for him, I don't know where we would have gotten the money.

I've been to Canada, and I've always gotten the impression that I could take the country over in about two days.
I go by the role pretty much. And I think the only genre I haven't gotten to do but I'd love to is a western, but no one has ever asked me to do that. Unfortunately they are very few and far between these days, but that is one type of film I'd love to do.
