Alexis MaybankI think [Hollywood] has achieved everything theyโve always dreamed of. The audience now seems to be very dumb. They pay money to watch the same film.

And when that gap narrows, it's safer for the communities and it's safer for the police.

They are easier to trust and follow; they honor commitments and promises; their words and behavior match; they are always engaged in and by the world; they are open to "reflective backtalk": they can speak with conviction because they believe in what they are saying...and everyone else knows that. They are comfortable in their own skin. They feel at ease in the spotlight and they enjoy it there. They tend to be more receptive to opportunity and risk.
Warren G. BennisIf you have it, it is for life. It is a disease for which there is no cure. You will go on riding even after they have to haul you on a comfortable wise old cob, with feet like inverted buckets and a back like a fireside chair... when I can't ride anymore, I shall still keep horses as long as I can hobble about with a bucket and a wheelbarrow. When I can't hobble, I shall roll my wheelchair out to the fence of the field where my horses graze, and watch them.

Gisele BundchenThe one nice thing about doing a character for a long time is, you begin to feel more comfortable, and you are thinking less and behaving more.

Just behaving and listening to other people who you're doing scenes with. I always like the latter when it looks easy, even though it may not be.
