Whenever you see people talking about how real they are or how normal they are, it seems odd to have that self awareness that you could potentially not be normal.
Bad directors will tell you they absolutely know how to do it, and how it has to happen; there's this insecurity that leads them to feeling like they have to control everything.
People negotiate their way around how a human mind works and find blind points. That's how people steal effectively.
I'm thrilled when I get nominated. I don't count how many and I don't remember how many I've had. I just know it's a lot.
In Boston they ask, how much does he know? In New York, how much is he worth? In Philadelphia, who were his parents?
Many people ask how to heal an aching heart. I ask in return how does one release the attachment to the aching?
Sometimes I'm dazzled by how modern and fabulous we are, and how easy everything can be for us; that's the gilded glow of technology, and I marvel at it all the time.
Your value depends on how much love you gave away, not on how much money you have accumulated.
