Diplomacy is more than saying or doing the right things at the right time, it is avoiding saying or doing the wrong things at any time.
I'm self-deprecating - I spend a lot of time telling myself that things are OK, as opposed to having to tell myself to get over things.
I never dreamt that I would do all the things that I have done. But things just happened to me all the time.
It's not a bad idea to occasionally spend a little time thinking about things you take for granted. Plain everyday things.
A lot of the reasons why something is a favorite thing are all things you don't necessarily see, the place, the people, the time, where you are, what it meant to you at the time.
I fix things all the time. Every time I do a solo, I re-check it and correct things that don't hit the mark.
One of the torturous things about my job is that, as time goes on, you get more and more clarity on all the things you've screwed up and all the mistakes you've made.
I always believe in doing new things and using new materials that I have never used or that I didn't like for a long time.

One cannot spend one's time in being modern when there are so many more important things to be.
The first time onstage, a light went on. 'OK, this is my thing. I'm comfortable here. This is my thing.'
Stuntman Mike: [to Arlene] There are few things fetching as a bruised ego on a beautiful angel.
Kent Mansley: The biggest thing in this town is probably the homecoming queen.
Daniel Sanchez: The most important thing in life, is family.
Griffin Mill: Let's go to Acapulco. June: Is that the thing to do? Griffin Mill: It's *a* thing to do.
H.I.: Sometimes it's a hard world for small things.
Tony Montana: The only thing in this world that gives orders... is balls.
Deke Thornton: What I like and what I need are two different things.
Money is the medium of exchange, and it's how you make things happen. To say you hate it is some farfetched, idealistic crap.
Money is the most important thing because there might be a time when you have no label behind you and you have to carry yourself. Money is the only thing that can shield you.
I'd like to direct again, but that's really hard to get something and raise the money. It's difficult to find just the right thing.
