I like the rapid stage of TV. I’m the type of actor who likes the fast pace. I don’t have the patience to wait for 50 million takes.

Baseball teaches us patience, perseverance, and the value of teamwork

It’s a lot easier to see, at least in some cases, what the long-term limits of the possible will be, because they depend on natural law. But it’s much harder to see just what path we will follow in heading toward those limits.

There are black zones of shadow close to our daily paths, and now and then some evil soul breaks a passage through. When that happens, the man who knows must strike before reckoning the consequences.

There is a name for this sudden slap of art, this falling through the rabbit hole of civilisation. It’s Stendhal’s syndrome: being overcome by beauty. They say that the guards in the Uffizi are trained to deal with collapsing Americans who have lived lives of blameless comfort in Midwestern ugliness and can’t compute the full beam of a Bronzino

Paths are made by walking

There is no orthodoxy in walking. It is a land of many paths and no-paths, where every one goes his own and is right.

It is the patient workers, and the active, kindly sympathetic men and women who hold the balance of things secure.

It does not take much strength to do things, but it requires great strength to decide on what to do.

You said you loved me, you’re a liar ‘Cause you never, ever, ever did, baby

I think a business guy is different from an artist. They walk different paths. Artists create the best outputs when they’re having fun. And when a good business partner supports them from the side, it creates great synergy. When someone’s trying to do both, I think the music gets bad and the business gets bad, too.

I do not have much patience with a thing of beauty that must be explained to be understood. If it does not need additional interpretation by someone other than the creator, then I question whether it has fulfilled its purpose.

Patriotism is easy to understand in America; it means looking out for yourself by looking out for your country

Truth is one, paths are many.
