I gave up writing blurbs because you make one friend and 200 enemies.
The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.
Every single instance of a friend's insincerity increases our dependence on the efficacy of money.
I have now established myself in a most enviable manner. Those who require something of me must seek me out - I remain apart. I work for no one unless he is a high-ranking personality or a friend.
A friend forced me to watch 'The Lord of the Rings,' and even though it was a fantastic movie, I could only watch one.
A lot of student directors used to pick other students to be in their graduate films, so. I ended up doing a couple of them just for fun. Eventually, I got an agent through a friend and I did some commercials; then I got Knots Landing.
A doubtful friend is worse than a certain enemy. Let a man be one thing or the other, and we then know how to meet him.
London is my favorite place in the world. I love London. I think it has the best of L.A. and New York in one, and I have a really great friend there.
I was signed to a record label at the same time as my friend Elliot Murphy, who makes great records to this day.
I think you have to be a little bit strict. You can't be friend and their parent in a lot of situations, especially in this day and age where it's so dangerous for kids. So there's a bit of sternness, I guess, in the way I raise my kids.
To help a friend in need is easy, but to give him your time is not always opportune.
The correction of silence is what kills; when you know you have transgressed, and your friend says nothing, and avoids your eye.
Without Hitler, the State of Israel probably would not exist today. To that extent he was probably the Jews' greatest friend.
You are more likely to be overweight if your friend's, friend's friend is overweight than if your parents are overweight.
I tend to be everybody's best friend, and it kind of goes over into my comedy.
As an actor there's a lot of scrutiny and, even when you've had success, it becomes about sustaining that success. A friend of mine described it as a peakless mountain. Even for De Niro there's Pacino and for Pacino there's De Niro.
If you go looking for a friend, you're going to find they're very scarce. If you go out to be a friend, you'll find them everywhere.
Hunger knows no friend but its feeder.
An enemy to whom you show kindness becomes your friend, excepting lust, the indulgence of which increases its enmity.
I just have a connection with sign language. I always thought the deaf community was a different community to be a part of. In high school, me and my friend took sign language.
I saw 'The Fountain' because my friend came over one day and said, 'This is my favorite movie I've ever seen. Please watch this,' and I watched it, and that was amazing.
Most artists don't get paid for what they do, and they are lucky if they can persuade a friend to let them show something at a kid's birthday party.
Was on my last leg, I couldn't even borrow my friend's extra peg.
Well, a friend in need is a friend indeed.
Me and my friend Ioan Gruffudd are like chalk and cheese when it comes to clothes. He lives for his clothes and has an amazing wardrobe. If we're going out I'll turn up at his house and say, 'I haven't got anything to wear,' and he'll tut and sigh and then lend me something swanky.
Of all possessions a friend is the most precious.
Martyrs, my friend, have to choose between being forgotten, mocked or used. As for being understood - never.
Yeah, the industry has always been both the enemy and the best friend of the artist. They need each other. That's the bottom line.
The puppet characters were combinations of people I had known and to some degree aspects of my own personality. Weird was based on someone I knew in Chicago. Dirty Dragon was based on a good friend I had in Indianapolis.
Today, loss is something everybody feels. It could be the loss of a friend moving away. It could be your best friend moves to the other side of town or his family does. It's a loss.
When I was very young, I remember my mother telling me about a friend of hers in Germany, a pianist who played a symphony that wasn't permitted, and the Germans came up on stage and broke every finger on her hands. I grew up with stories of Nazis breaking the fingers of Jews.
The Little Friend is a long book. It's also completely different from my first novel: different landscape, different characters, different use of language and diction, different approach to story.
I prefer to call the most obnoxious feminists what they really are: feminazis. Tom Hazlett, a good friend who is an esteemed and highly regarded professor of economics at the University of California at Davis, coined the term to describe any female who is intolerant of any point of view that challenges militant feminism.
A friend should be a master at guessing and keeping still: you must not want to see everything.
What we want to tell, we wish our friend to have curiosity to hear.
If I audition for a job that I don't get, to be honest with you, I'd rather my friend get it. I think there also has to be an acknowledgement of the fact that, as an actor, being in employment is not the norm.
