“Clothing is the first step to building a character.”

The way to be successful in Hollywood is to be as obnoxious as the next guy.

The only happy artist is a dead artist, because only then you can’t change. After I die, I’ll probably come back as a paintbrush.

We do two things in life: We race the clock and everything is a struggle. One way or not, it’s a metaphorical battle all of the time.

Ya gotta do what ya gotta do.

Now if you know what you’re worth. Then go out and get what you’re worth.

I take rejection as someone blowing a bugle in my ear to wake me up and get going, rather than retreat.

I realized, the older I get, the more difficult life becomes. It’s not easier, it’s more difficult.

It would be great to be able to pass on to someone all of the successes, the failures, and the knowledge that one has had. To help someone, avoid all the fire, pain and anxiety would be wonderful.

Everybody has anger or regret in them one way or another. They all try different things to get it out. Some people go to psychiatrists. Some paint pictures. Some people talk it out.

I’m perceived to be this solitary character, but nothing could be further from the truth.

Movies are the work of a collective conscious. It takes 500-800 people on a movie to complete a vision.

I was an ambitious child and I tended to be scatterbrained. If I was at school and saw a bird outside the window I wanted to follow it. I was adventurous.

I thought I had reached a point in life where everything would be smooth. But it is not. It just gets more jagged and pitted and filled with turns that take you into the dark recesses of your mind. It never seems to get easy.

Some actors are brilliant character guys. They submerge.

Study people’s success stories hard. Study their failures even harder.

Remember the mind is your best muscle, BIG ARMS can move rocks, but BIG WORDS can move mountains. Ride the brain train for success.

Motherhood, building character one day at a time.

Vow to be valiant. Resolve to be radiant. Determine to be dynamic. Strive to be sincere. Aspire to be attuned.

I really like how the characters always have to go through some type of long journey that’s like a crazy struggle. And these anime shows give women power. She’s always the queen or somebody that you cannot beat – I love that.

Drake is an amazing person. Also, a magician. He’s a big brother, super-talent; he’s cool.

It is the certainty that they possess the truth that makes men cruel.

You can never win when you wear the ugly cloak of self-pity and the sour sound of whining.

To character and success, two things, contradictory as they may seem, must go together. Humble dependence on God and manly reliance on self.

By themselves, character and integrity do not accomplish anything. But their absence faults everything else. Here, therefore, is the one area where weakness is a disqualification by itself rather than a limitation on performance capacity and strength.
