The more people involved in making a movie, the worse it is, generally.

I'm not a public figure at all. I don't really go out a lot to places where there are people like those who sit at the bottom of your driveway.

I don't think I'm very ambitious at all. But I seem to play people who have that quality.

If you give a character room to breathe, they come alive.

If you work in casting, it's sort of not cool to want to act. A lot of people think that casting directors are frustrated actors, but it wasn't true with any of the casting people I knew.

I'm unqualified for anything else. I'm barely qualified for this.

I've worked with a lot of great directors.

I... had guys on the set who didn't like me... they weren't interested in the cold character.

The movies I'm in not a lot of people see, but it's alright.

I have a hard time visualizing anything, which is why I'm not a director, and which is why I try to work with ones I know have a strong idea in mind.

I encounter really tough men and women who are just so harsh, you can't bend them. You do come across these kinds of people in every profession-just unyielding.

Let peace, concord and unanimity reign among all Christian people...for without peace we cannot please God.

Her pain was so great that she could have screamed at the top of her voice. She had never known that one could suffer so much

We see the world, not as it is, but as we are -- or, as we are conditioned to see it. When we open our mouths to describe what we see, we in effect describe ourselves, our perceptions, our paradigms.

Though men pride themselves on their great actions often they are not the result of any great design but of chance.

I work with patience, which is almost power.

Double, treble, quadruple bubble, watch the stock market get into trouble.

I have a painting where somebody's holding a chicken, and underneath the chicken is somebody's head.

I have worked out with the Thunder, Lakers, Knicks, Grizzlies, Spurs, and a few others before the draft. I have worked out primarily against shorter and supposedly faster players in these workouts.

I don't know what it says about me that I have a greater affinity with the damaged. Probably nothing good.

My writing is authentic, and whatever happens in my life is what I write about.
