The business is all about gush and hype. You never have a bad meeting in L.A.

I used to look like a deer in headlights on the red carpet. You step out of the car and it's bedlam. Everyone's got crazy eyes.

I appreciate a slow-burn romance. In most movies, everyone is just tearing their clothes off in the first scene.

When you're in love, you're so happy that you want to tell people about it. But now I have to censor myself. You need to protect the happiness you have.

The more we mask ourselves, the freer we're able to be within ourselves.

I love ambiguity. People are that way. People are very hard to work out. No one is just strong or just fragile, or anything like that.

People quit on jobs. They quit on marriages. They quit on school. There's an immediacy of this day and age that doesn't lend itself to being committed to anything.

There is absolutely, 100 percent, a light at the end of the tunnel for anyone who stutters.

I've always been quite a spontaneous person, so I would lean more towards, if you feel it and you know its right, then do it.

Things happen in the way they usually should. I'm a pretty fatalistic person.

It's quite hard to faze me. I'm fairly un-shockable.

I was going to tell you that you look beautiful with your hair down. That's all I was going to say.

The truth can’t hide, Colonel. Sooner or later it will rise to the top, like oil in water.

The clown may be the source of mirth, but - who shall make the clown laugh?

All noise is waste. So cultivate quietness in your speech, in your thoughts, in your emotions. Speak habitually low. Wait for attention and then you low words will be charged with dynamite.

My job now is to work hard and learn all I can.

I have created the life that I live... therefore I can create the life that I want.

Publicity is justly commended as a remedy for social and industrial diseases.

As a filmmaker I cannot make anything beautiful. I'm Platonic in that sense.

The question of souls is old—we demand our bodies, now. We are tired of promises, god is deaf, and his church is our worst enemy.

Either our history shall with full mouth Speak freely of our acts, or else our grave, Like Turkish mute, shall have a tongueless mouth, Not worshipped with a waxen epitaph.
