I love developing children as characters. Children rarely have important roles in literary fiction - they are usually defined as cute or precious, or they create a plot by being kidnapped or dying.
One thing that people don't really understand is that as celebrity you rarely get fair treatment. You either get love or hate. It's never really fair.
To get to be somebody who gets to love what they do for a living, that's so rare, and so there must be some kind of price you have to pay.
One can find women who have never had one love affair, but it is rare indeed to find any who have had only one.
I heard of this Texas studio. The owner, Tony Rancich, wanted to fly us out for the day to see the studio. I booked it the next day. He's that rare guy that is in it purely for the love of it.

Real invention is a process of repeated, crushing failure that leads, very rarely, to a success. If you want to succeed faster, there's nothing for it but to fail faster and better.

A man who writes for a living does not have to go anywhere in particular, and he could rarely afford to if he wanted.
Today’s headlines and history’s judgment are rarely the same. If you are too attentive to the former you will most certainly not do the hard work of securing the latter
Friendship is like a glass ornament, once it is broken it can rarely be put back together exactly the same way.
Evil things are easy things: for they are natural to our fallen nature. Right things are rare flowers that need cultivation.
It is very rare for a child of God to find gold and crude oil on the floor to fetch. He/she must dig and dig deeply well!!!
Very, very rare that you do a job knowing that the audience is desperate for you to do that job. Most films you make don't get released, is the fact.
To be thirsty and to drink water is the perfection of sensuality rarely achieved. Sometimes you drink water; other times you are thirsty.
It's very rare that I get stopped or get asked for an autograph or anything - none of which I mind - but people don't really care that much.
