There is very little discussion of enduring principles.
Alan DershowitzWhen you start out as an actor, you read a script thinking of it at its best. But that's not usually the case in general, and usually what you have to do is you have to read a script and think of it at its worst.

You can make a bad film out of a good script, but you can't make a good film out of a bad script.

That is the pain Iโm feeling now. Its so bad, its useless. The only lesson I will ever derive from this pain is how bad pain can be.

Ashton KutcherThe Bible must be the invention either of good men or angels, bad men or devils, or of God.

Brady CorbetAbove all, avoid lies, all lies, especially the lie to yourself. Keep watch on your own lie and examine it every hour, every minute. And avoid contempt, both of others and of yourself: what seems bad to you in yourself is purified by the very fact that you have noticed it in yourself. And avoid fear, though fear is simply the consequence of every lie. Never be frightened at your own faintheartedness in attaining love, and meanwhile do not even be very frightened by your own bad acts.

Andre AgassiThe film industry is a great industry, with infinite possibilities for good and bad. Its primary purpose is to entertain people. On the side, it can do many other things.

Eleanor RooseveltMen have their virtues and their vices, their heroisms and their perversities; men are neither wholly good nor wholly bad, but possess and practice all that there is of good and bad here below.

Such has been my rule of expectation and it has usually brought me success.
