I try to watch a movie a day, if not more, and through movies, I learned about so many different political themes I hadn't been interested in and cultural things I hadn't been aware of and economic factors I hadn't thought about.
I worked on three independent movies in close succession and... I really learned from those directors how to stay on budget, make your days, get it done, keep everyone happy, which is a huge thing in a movie, and to steer the ship.
I got to learn from the American audience. Hearing what it is they're not getting. These are audiences, 35 to 40, an older demographic that controls seven to 10 trillion dollars. And the producers and distributors have convinced themselves this group...
The first thing I learned about weapons is respect, and that carries into movies as well. If you're on set and you're dealing with weapons, live or not, you respect the weapon; you know how to handle it appropriately.
Paul Biegler: As a lawyer, I've had to learn that people aren't just good or just bad. People are many things.
Kayleigh Miller: Where'd you learn those new tricks? Evan: What? It... it wasn't... weird... was it? Kayleigh Miller: Yeah, if you call multiple orgasms weird!
Bryant: You could learn from this guy, Gaff. He's a goddamned one-man slaughterhouse, that's what he is. Four more to go!
Columbia University, where I went to study in 1993, insisted its undergraduates learn a foreign language, so I discovered French.
I am grateful to my father for sending me to school, and that we moved from Somalia to Kenya, where I learned English.

To overcome adverse circumstances, you have to learn to overcome your own hang-ups, values, and idiosyncrasies in order to value other people, cultures, and ideas.
I did my first movie, 'The Mambo Kings,' in America without speaking the language. I learned the lines phonetically. I had an interpreter actually just to understand directions from my director.
If you learn the language of loss early, I think you seek out others who have experienced the same thing, who speak that same language of loss.
The more I learn, the less I know: the less I know, the less I understand: the less I understand, the less I can relate; I know you're crazy.

There are so many guys that come up and have strong hearts, but they just have to understand what the consequences are and how to execute the things that they learned to make themselves successful.
