Studios never put pressure. They know the kind of films I want to make.

When I am with you, there is nowhere else I'd rather be. And I am a person who always wants to be somewhere else.

You can lade a man up to th' university, but ye can't make him think.

Whoever has done good in the main has spirit-energy that is pure and clear when death comes.

You think you need the newest shoe and the newest outfit. We forget exercising is free. We forget it only takes a little bit every day.
