I like working with actresses, and I like women a lot, not for obvious reasons, but just in that that there's so much about what they bring to the scene that keeps it so interesting. Their instincts are so different, and they never explain them to yo...
I think that women can tend to look so feminine so easily. So it's interesting to see how we can look masculine and strong, too.
The characters that aren't what they seem to be or women who are stronger than people give them credit for or characters you underestimate, I always think are really interesting because there are so many possibilities with them.
In Oxford before the war, I had, with this interest in mind, written a short textbook entitled, An Introduction to Economic Analysis and Policy. It was now my intention to rewrite this work.
Going to war is a serious matter. And it should be done very carefully and deliberately with clear national interests at stake before the United States or our Commander-in-Chief acts.
I am passionately interested in understanding how my country works. And if you want to know about this thing called the United States of America you have to know about the Civil War.
I continue to believe, contrary to the given wisdom, that it's more interesting to have an album - or, indeed, an individual song - which has variety rather than homogeneity.
[...] I grew up out of that strange, dreamy childhood of mine and went into the world of reality. I met with experiences that bruised my spirit - but they never harmed my ideal world. That was always mine to retreat into at will. I learned that that ...
Fabre stood up. He placed his fingertips on d‘Anton’s temples. “Put your fingers here,” he said. “Feel the resonance. Put them here, and here.” He jabbed at d’Anton’s face: below the cheekbones, at the side of his jaw. “I’ll teach...
Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pollitt: Grown-ups don't hang up on their friends! And they don't hang up on their wives and they don't hang up on life! That's the truth and that's what you can't face! Brick Pollitt: Can you face the truth? Harvey 'Big Daddy' Pol...
Andrew Largeman: You know that point in your life when you realize the house you grew up in isn't really your home anymore? All of a sudden even though you have some place where you put your shit, that idea of home is gone. Sam: I still feel at home ...
Rufus Ryker: I don't want no trouble, Starrett. I came to inform ya. I got that beef contract for the reservation. Joe Starrett: Did it take this many of you to tell me that? Rufus Ryker: I mean business. Joe Starrett: Then you tend to your own. Rufu...
the romance of solitude and small places, the blurring of identity.
Live from a place of love. It conquers all that is evil.
There are no innocent bystanders ... what are they doing there in the first place?
...cities are murky places - hatching grounds for monsters...
Hollywood's a very weird place. I think there's less of everything except for attitude.
I do not share the half-in, half-out attitude to the EU of some in Britain. Britain's place is in Europe.
If the limit of age 80 is at the summit of Mt Everest, the highest place on Earth, one can never be happier.
New York is the coolest city. The place just never sleeps. It's amazing.
In Europe art has to a large degree taken the place of religion. In America it seems rather to be science.
