For some reason, comedy just comes easily to me, and I feel like I can do it. I don't have any doubt. When I work on drama, there's always a sense of 'Did I find this person's truth at the bottom of this?' And it's hard to tell sometimes.
No one wants to hear the truth if it isn't what they want to hear.
It's so hard for me to wrap my head around the concept of truth, I don't even know what people mean by it.
I think that's what really a substantial work is, it's forever. It's the truth now and it was the truth then, and it will be the truth tomorrow.
My work is about giving voice to the unheard, and reiterating the voice of the heard in such a way that you question, or re-examine, what is the truth.
The work that I feel is most authentically mine is the one that is my first reaction, the first thing that feels like the truth. In aggregate, those choices, those series of decisions, create your point of view, your visual language.
The work of deciding cases goes on every day in hundreds of courts throughout the land. Any judge, one might suppose, would find it easy to describe the process which he had followed a thousand times and more. Nothing could be farther from the truth.
I take work very seriously and telling the truth in my job and professionalism.
William Shakespeare was a brilliant writer and he only wrote the truth. So, if I don't believe it, I have to work really hard to see what that truth is so that I do; that's the only way I can make it believable for the audience.
To be honest with you, girls didn't really start paying attention to me until after 'Clueless' came out. Then, all of a sudden, it was different. And that's the honest-to-goodness truth. I wasn't very popular until that happened. I have zero pickup l...
This is the harsh truth about us: not only do Filipinos ignore books, literature - we do not understand how important the arts are - not just to those of us who work at it, but to the nation as a whole.
During a large disaster, like Hurricane Katrina, warnings get hopelessly jumbled. The truth is that, for warnings to work, it's not enough for them to be delivered. They must also overcome that human tendency to pause; they must trigger a series of e...
All I'm ever looking for in my work in general is honesty and truth and people being real to themselves.
When I won the Oscar, there was something telling me 'this isn't the truth'. I had to get back to real work.
The search for the truth is the most important work in the whole world, and the most dangerous.
I am trying to work out what my taste is, comedy-wise. I look up to stand up comedians who appear to be telling the truth, but I don't mind if they are lying.
I think people who don't work don't really have interesting and meaningful lives. More than anything, it hurts them. When you're born rich, people just associate you with what you've been given, but the truth is every individual feels better when you...
Dorleac: Come on, come on, I haven't got all day... wait. Actually, I do. I've got... [laughs] Dorleac: ALL THE TIME IN THE WORLD!
Elias: [Elias is wasted] I hope that donkey doesn't have a heinie troll!
Fanning: Since when is LAPD working for the Feebs?
Muse: Look at me. Captain Richard Phillips: Sure. Muse: Look at me. Captain Richard Phillips: Sure. Muse: I'm the captain now.
