The love scenes that worked, regardless of the director, were the ones where the actors weren't fearful. When somebody was fearful, you could see it right away. It takes you out of the story, and that's to be avoided at all costs.
I've done stand-up since I was 18 years old, and I absolutely love it, but I used to go onstage, and the audience was my peers. Now I go onstage, and I could be their mother.
I love music, I love all kinds of music, particularly jazz. Jazz is an extension of America. There's no other country in the world that could have produced jazz.
I love to look at The Graduate, or Lawrence of Arabia, or things I had nothing to do with. But you could not get me to go back and watch movies that it was a privilege just to be around them when they were being made.
I was loved as a kid; I was raised with more love and emotional support than most folks could wish for... my memories aged nought to ten... are all bound up together in a mesh of innocence and fun.
But I love to write music. What I would love to do is give some of the songs I write to someone like Taylor Swift because I feel like she could sing them.
I wish I could sing. I love singers, but I am way too shy. Scares the hell out of me.
I love thinking of movie stars who could play the characters in the books I write. I think Charlize Theron would make a lovely Marie Antoinette.
I didn't lose. I got second. That's still winning. How could I be unhappy with second place? There are a million people who would love to be in my position.

One of the best things that you could ever do for your life, is to follow your passion, turn it into a dream, and introduce it to the light of reality.
It's obvious that someone is going through emotional pain when you could look at them and see deep pain in their eyes even while they are smiling.
A strong undying passion for one's dream is the greatest helping hand one could ever ask for.
A strong positive mental attitude is the best gift that you could ever give to your life.
Be strong enough to ignore the negative opinions of people, so that your positive spirit could illuminate your true unique colors.
There aren't too many priceless feelings on earth that could equate to the feeling that comes with shinning the light of manifestation on your true passion in life.
One of the best gifts that you could ever give to your family and the people around you, is to be unconditionally in unity with them.
You have to first position yourself with the right level of mannerism, before others could see a reason to respect you.
Every moment spent on being jealous at someone else's success, is a moment that could be spent on building one's dream.
It is only when you face your fears and doubts that you could begin to discover some hidden extraordinary abilities in you.
A life of failure could only be possible if one betrays oneself by giving up on one's true destiny to settle for failure.
