Misfortune is never mournful to the soul that accepts it; for such do always see that every cloud is an angel's face.
A mouse never entrusts his life to only one hole.
An actor can never voice his opinion through films. All an actor does is convey what the director and writer want to say. You are a mouthpiece of their ideas. Your ideas reflect only in your choice of movies.
I never dwell on what happened. You can't change it. Move forward. Don't waste your energy on being angry at something that somebody did six months ago or a year ago. It's over. Done. Move forward.
None of us are immune to grief, and everyone who has suffered loss understands that grief changes, but you never wake up one morning and you've moved on. It stays with you, and, you know, you ebb and flow.
I wasn't looking to get into TV. My family was in the movie business, so I was never interested in that world.
I will never become a director or a movie producer. I was always looking at picture directing because I didn't know what to do! You can't be a movie director without real preparation.
There's nobody who loves being around actors working more than David Mamet, especially actors bringing his tremendous dialogue to life. I've never seen a movie director who was happier to be directing a movie than Dave.
I actually don't pay a lot of attention to the movie 'industry'... I just do the work when I get it. I never considered anything I was in, or did, as a possible breakthrough for me. I have advised other actors not to expect anything. Expecting a 'breakthrough' is almost an automatic for sure 'let down' or heartbreak.
I never had any ambitions of being a movie star or anything like that, but you know, this is nice.
I don't know what it was, maybe the movie theaters in my immediate surrounding neighbourhood in Burbank, but I never saw what would be considered A movies.
I never thought I'd land in pictures with a face like mine.
If you love somebody, let them go, for if they return, they were always yours. And if they don't, they never were.
He was a sociologist; he had got into an intellectual muddle early on in life and never managed to get out.
Never explain what you do. It speaks for itself. You only muddle it by talking about it.
James Cotton is a real blues guy, and he played with Muddy Waters, and it surprised me that they would want me to make a record with them, that he called me to do this record. I'd never done anything like that before. But I love blues, so I was very happy.
Don't worry about never having time to write. Just write what you can in the time you do have and give yourself a big clap on the back, followed by a double latte and a blueberry muffin.
I always have snack-y foods with me, like nuts and individually wrapped prunes. I don't like getting hungry. When you're hungry, you'll look for foods, and it's never salad; it's always muffins!
You can never prepare yourself enough to see your mug shot and DUI.
I've never been mugged, never really experienced street fear. In fact, I'm the one who gets into arguments because I don't keep my mouth shut.
