As someone who grew up in the Bronx, I certainly learned my share of four-letter words, but none are more powerful than nice.
What makes a writer successful is not money or fame (though both are nice) ... it's that in being true to her or himself, the words were able to connect to a reader's heart.
It undoubtedly feels nice when you are being appreciated and you get complimented by girls. Who doesn't like that? Having said that, I don't take it as any pressure.
I had no student friends to talk to about literature. My tutor was a really nice man, very charming - but he had no literary judgment.
There's got to be something that you can do that will not just be a nice honor to the play, or the book, or the movie you're dealing with, but some aspect that maybe can explore something that the play couldn't do.
There are a lot of obligations when you put out a record and it does well. People want to talk to you, which is nice. So then you make sure you do that.
I have to work really hard, eight shows a week, to get a nice check as an actor. But when I write a play, and it's a - knock wood - hit, the checks come in for many years.
If the point of the inner-child movement is to cure adult problems, it doesn't work. Reliving childhood traumas gives you a nice afterglow, but it lasts only for hours or days. There is no evidence it changes adult problems.
Things have slowed down considerably since the new series has started airing and I am currently looking for work. It has been a nice year-long vacation nonetheless.
I am under no illusion that I will ever be the greatest opera composer in the world, with Wagner and Verdi and Strauss before me. I think my work could fit very nicely into musicals, though.
The whole series is black-and-white, so when I went to shoot one of the women I only had black-and-white film with me. She had reddish hair and was a very pretty girl, a nice girl.
Steve Rogers: You just can't stop yourself from lying, can you? Nick Fury: I didn't lie. Agent Romanoff had a different mission than yours. Steve Rogers: Which you didn't feel obliged to share. Nick Fury: I'm not obliged to do anything. Steve Rogers:...
Andrew Largeman: Are you doing anything right now? Sam: Can you elaborate on doing anything? Andrew Largeman: I just know this guy Jesse who bought this mansion that's right up here and we wants me to come visit him, but I don't want to stay very lon...
Alonzo: What's happening? You got the picks and shovels? Mark: You gonna dig a ditch? Alonzo: Nope. You are. That's a nice suit. [to Paul] Alonzo: What's going on, killer? Paul: I can't call it. Been hearing some shit out here on these streets. You a...
Some guys are worth breaking the rules for.
I just see myself as a guy who's trying to make a film or, make art.
Magic. It can get a guy killed.
I want to be remembered as a guy who tried his best and did his best.
If I start to become a star, I'll lose contact with the normal guys I play best.
One of the best ones out there was a guy named Howard Cosell. He was the best.
In a completely rational society, the best of us would be teachers and the rest of us would have to settle for something else.
