My real dream is to have a whole, like, buy a whole piece of land. Imagine, like, a long driveway. Like, a cul de sac-type street, with maybe, like, seven houses. Me be right here. Have my mom be able to be right here. My brother over here. My girl's...
I have lived by one crucial principle since I was 24 years old. I don't blame or complain about things like the economy, the government, taxes, employees, gas prices, or any of the external things that I don't have control over. The only thing I have...
I remember having my father stand over me when I had driven over my own foot; one leg was out of the car and one leg was in the car. He looked at me and told me that I was a drunk and that he was ashamed to call me his son. That night, I stopped drin...
The pure Deity is in all places and all corners, and present every where all over: the birth of the holy Trinity in one essence is every where: and the angelical world reacheth to every part, wherever you can think, even in the midst of the earth, st...
Right before I got 'Sons of Anarchy,' I actually quit acting for 18 months and didn't read a single script, and I wrote a film. I felt like I needed to do something that I had control over, as an artist, and also just do something where I felt like I...
And one of the things that I learned was you can't generalise at all about a woman in a veil. You can't think you know her story, because she will confound you over and over again. She may be an engineer or a diplomat or a doctor. Or she may be an un...
Yes, it seems we've got this mutant gene in our human personality that makes us susceptible to this same kind of mistake over and over again. It's really uncanny how we build these beautiful multicultural edifices and then allow this switch to be fli...
Fate had a cruel sense of humor. It had been all his fault, anyway, whatever Mick or Gillia told him. Careless preoccupation and utter stupidity. Boyhood ignorance and negligence. He was only getting what he deserved, over and over again, for the res...
One night I went over to get some dope from some Hollywood tough guy. After I left, my son Scott, who was only fifteen, went over with a baseball bat to kill him. I was laughing out of one eye and crying out of the other. I thought, Who am I kidding?
If I'm riding my bike I just replay the same scenarios over and over in my head, like I haven't had a new mental adventure since high school. So that's what I like about books on tape, so my mind can't wander anywhere.
There is a construct in computer programming called 'the infinite loop' which enables a computer to do what no other physical machine can do - to operate in perpetuity without tiring. In the same way it doesn't know exhaustion, it doesn't know when i...
Now they show you how detergents take out bloodstains, a pretty violent image there. I think if you've got a T-shirt with a bloodstain all over it, maybe laundry isn't your biggest problem. Maybe you should get rid of the body before you do the wash.
Slavery provides comfort to the oppressor. Even more than comfort, it provides power over those who witness. Slavery is, after all, a luxury. Slavery is a distraction, so long as the onlooker is not the victim. Slavery is cheap labor, an outlet for a...
The biggest challenge for me has been in coping with my perfectionism. I have a stiflingly hard time moving forward in a project if it's not 'just right' all along the way. The trap I so easily fall into is rewriting and rewriting the same scenes ove...
Stands With a Fist: He also asks if you would watch over his family while he is gone. [pauses] Stands With a Fist: This thing he asks of you is a great honor. John Dunbar: Tell him I would be happy to watch over his family.
School of Fish: Oh and one more thing: when you come to this trench, swim through it, not over it. Dory: Trench. Through it, not over. I'll remember. [swimming to catch up with Marlin] Dory: Hey wait up there's something I gotta tell you. [sees the t...
Rocket Raccoon: He thinks I'm some stupid thing! He does! [points to Drax] Rocket Raccoon: Well, I didn't ask to get made! Rocket Raccoon: I didn't ask to be torn apart and put back together over and over and turned into some little monster! [begins ...
[over the telephone] Kent Mansley: Sir, this thing is a menace. It destroyed a power station, it... it caused a train wreck! General Rogard: What did, Mansley? Tell me again, and this time, listen to yourself. Kent Mansley: [sighs] A giant... metal m...
McMurphy: [about shock treatments] They was giving me ten thousand watts a day, you know, and I'm hot to trot! The next woman takes me on's gonna light up like a pinball machine and pay off in silver dollars!
McMurphy: I can't take it no more. I gotta get outta here. Chief Bromden: I can't. I just can't. McMurphy: It's easier than you think, Chief. Chief Bromden: For you, maybe. You're a lot bigger than me.
[Charley Waite kicks Button off his horse. He falls into the river] Button: What you do that for? Charley Waite: Cheatin' at cards. Button: I apologized to you for that. [to Boss Spearman] Button: Eh, Boss? I apologized to him for that. Boss Spearman...
