I think I do believe in the afterlife; I have heard stories from people who I can completely trust that have seen ghosts.
If you're a journalist - and I think, on some level, I'm a journalist, and proud to be a journalist, or a documentarian, however you want to describe it - part of what I do has to be the pursuit of the truth.
Johnnie Gray: [to the recruiter who rejects him] If you lose this war don't blame me.
Doc Holliday: Oh. Johnny, I apologize; I forgot you were there. You may go now.
Doc Holliday: [after killing Johnny Ringo] It would appear that the strain was more than he could bear.
Carlene Carter: [shouts through screen door] Mama! Johnny Cash is here!
Johnny Cash: Jerry Lee just sit your ass down.
It's hard finding people you trust or who aren't going to take your money. Everyone wants to get a piece of whatever you're doing. It's a nightmare.
Families, particularly, tend to be the ones that you take the most for granted. They seem to slip under the radar, all those important things - it almost becomes second nature to do so.
I can tell you for sure: people who are at their peak right now will not sustain that. You can't. It's against the law of nature.
As a musician and a songwriter, it is an act of the ego to believe that other people might be interested in your point of view. But it is usually an empathetic nature that gets you going in the first place.
I would say that the directors that I've liked the most are all curious in nature - curious thinkers. They're all big questioners, I would say, first and foremost.
Acting is an opportunity for me to try to explore and examine and expose humanity's weaknesses that are intrinsic to our nature as humans and learn from them; thereby, it's like a sociological expose.
I'm obsessed with nature and living in the wild, which I just think is crazy. Imagine if a bear attacked you! That's an actual possible way you could die.
I like to sit in my backyard. I go out on the hammock and sit in silence and kind of meditate. Nature is calming, and it's nice to go out there and clear my head.
I am fascinated by people's flaws and delusions: all the messy bits of human nature we all try to pretend we don't have.
Unless you're a vegan freak of nature like Tony Gonzalez, I don't think you can play sports much past your early 30s.
The nature of human beings is that we're competitive, and the chances are there's someone out there who's going to work harder than you and want it more than you.
As we become this one global culture, in some ways it's things like the weather and nature that still hold our culture as unique to where we are.
I grew up in Brooklyn, and my parents were Holocaust survivors, so they never taught me anything about nature, but they taught me a lot about gratitude.
It's kind of part of human nature to want to know the truth or want to be in on the secret. For stories that focus in on that - like whodunits - it's easy to get drawn into.
