Yeah, I read history. But it doesn't make you nice. Hitler read history, too.
Frequently you have a clash between the more sterile letter of the law and the justice that underlies it, and I think one of the things I've been trying more or less, where it was possible, is to go with the justice rather than the letter of the law.
Son, we'd like to keep you around this season but we're going to try and win a pennant.
There are some forms of religion that are bad, just as there's bad cooking or bad art or bad sex, you have bad religion too.
Everyone wants to get better as they go along, but sometimes it's all you can do to stay consistent.
Doubt your doubts before you doubt your beliefs.
Don't manage - lead change before you have to.
Find the story you want to tell. If you don't want to write it, find somebody to write it.
Anyone can be heroic from time to time, but a gentleman is something you have to be all the time.
My duty is to make probable the improbable. If I tell you how I did it, I will ruin your experience.
'I Will Follow' is a celebration of life. Sometimes when you lose something, you understand its value more than when you had it. The same is true for life.
When a book is alive, really alive, you feel it. You put it to your ear here, and you feel it breathe, sometimes laugh, sometimes cry, just like a person, a little person.
Unless someone like you cares a whole awful lot, nothing is going to get better. It's not.
Your faith in yourself is all you will ever have. Don't let anyone take it away from you, ever.
Guys are really easy to get along with. It's a lot better than being on the bus with eight girls. But the worst part is being the only girl, because there's some days where you just wanna watch a chick flick.
One of the most amazing locations I've ever been is the top of the volcano in Tanzania, Africa. It's an actual volcano where you really have this lava every day.
If you are interested in ideas, radio is way more pure than television. You're not distracted by somebody's nose or hair or posture. You can really see how someone thinks and penetrate to the essence of who that person is.
Horror films have always been quite operatic for me. I always sort of scratch my head at people's offense to them? If you don't get them, and you don't like them, then don't watch them.
Once you put human life in human hands, you have started on a slippery slope that knows no boundaries.
With fiction, I felt like I could bring to bear my full imagination, my entire heart, and so you feel very vulnerable. It's not your physical life, but it's everything else, so it felt like a lot was at stake.
I love having candles, especially when you get downtime. I could just pass out seeing the flame flicker with the lights off.
My recurring nightmare is that someday I will be faced with a panel: Franklin Roosevelt, John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson all of whom will be telling me everything I got wrong about them. I know that Johnson's out there saying, 'Why is it that what you wrote about the Kennedys is twice as long as the book you wrote about me?'
Yes and, you know, I can't use the nice words anymore because I used to chicken out by using them. I used to call myself plus size, used to call myself chubby. I used to call myself overweight.
Natural beauty really entices men. They will tell you this time and time again, and studies consistently prove it.
Sometimes there's one person in the audience laughing hysterically, and it's so much fun. You end up playing the entire play to them.
Good journalism, I think, represents life and if you try to organize something too neatly it usually blows up in your face and doesn't really happen the way you want it to.
When you're in a car which can win every race, or fight for a win every race, that is pressure.
A lot of times you have to dip into the independent world to find the really great projects and the really great scripts. They're out there - you just have to search hard.
It's in the vein, somewhere in a cross between The Beatles, Cheap Trick, The Stones, Badfinger, you know, but it's not retro at all. But it is very pop.
You have to have a lot of little boy in you to play baseball for a living.
Well, I'm not going to go into what the letter says, because the police are looking at that. But as you say it's in Bahasa. But of course that's not to suggest that the letter came from outside of Australia. It came from in Australia. It came from Victoria.
If you don't accept failure as a possibility, you don't set high goals, you don't branch out, you don't try - you don't take the risk.
I think you have to feel comfortable with your car. You have to go into turn one, every lap, with confidence. You have to be sure of yourself and your equipment.
I mean, I love L.A. - I love living here. But I wish that we could make things without the need to hit a home run every single time. It's a unique thing to Hollywood that if you don't do that every time, then you're considered a failure. But it's like, 'Well, are you making movies to be successful? Or are you making movies to learn something?'
I was tired of illustration. You'd work so hard on a commission and it would go in to a magazine, and you'd turn the page and it was gone.
