I'm so excited to be a part of 'Falling Skies' and to see people enjoying what we've been working on for almost two years. The fact that I get to represent part of my heritage within this amazing group of characters makes me that much more proud!
I think art is good at looking back and looking forward. I don't think art is good at looking head-on. At the end of the day, people are more important than paintings.
Defining art is huge; I feel like it's such a subjective thing. It's more like what's not art. You know what I mean? I think there can be an art in the way people live their lives, and art can be a gift someone gives to somebody.
I don't know a single collector or museum director who says: 'Oh, he's on a list, so I think I'll buy something of his.' The people who buy my art put a little more thought into it than that.
Dreams so often become nightmares. Family can so easily become foes. And people are always more stupid than you give them credit for.
People say that a picture is worth a thousand words, but sometimes a mighty quotation is worth more than a thousand pictures.
Gods die. And when they truly die they are unmourned and unremembered. Ideas are more difficult to kill than people, but they can be killed, in the end.
Nothing in my life has ever made me want to commit suicide more than people's reaction to my trying to commit suicide.
Sometimes in life, as in literature, people get their just desserts. The greedy man loses everything because he cannot resist seeking more riches.
I don't like rats any more than the next bloke, but they ain't wicked and cruel like people can be. They're just ratty in their habits.
I cannot bear to associate with the ordinary run of people. I have to surround myself with individuals who for the most part are more than a trifle insane
The logic behind patriotism is a mystery. At least a man who believes that his own family or clan is superior to all others is familiar with more than 0.000003% of the people involved.
We are to love God most importantly so that we can grow to love people as he loved us, not so that we can feel more divine and worthy than the worldly.
It seemed strange to Kellan that the more people were crowded together, the less they were willing to acknowledge it; their interaction became a thing of unwelcome necessity and their gaze turned ever inward.
Nobody dares to solve the problems-because the solution might contradict your philosophy, and for most people clinging to beliefs is more important than succeeding in the world.
Do you know that one of the great problems of our age is that we are governed by people who care more about feelings than they do about thoughts and ideas.
I want to change the world, and do something valuable and beautiful. I want people to remember me before I'm dead, and then more afterwards.
I used to think that people are were supposed to be more strange, and dirty, and full of all sorts of emotions, pity and nobility, with infinite layers of complications.
You want leaders driven by mission – not by adrenaline. No one wants to work with people who need to be heroes more than they need to be catalysts.
Truth to tell, the longer I live, the more I'm tempted to think that the only moderately worthwhile people in the world are you and I.
Sometimes you have to be apart from people you love, but that doesn't make you love them any less. Sometimes you love them more.
