Foolishness is doing ignorantly something forbidden repeatedly by sages since ages, and Madness is doing the very same prohibited thing repeatedly but intentionally.

Many grow old with ages, but some attains age with wisdom.

When you mature in your relationship with God you realize how suffering and patience are like eating your spiritual vegetables.

Hoffman will win. It’s a crazy character, and Oscars like crazy people, and they want to give him a shout out for ‘Twister.’ That was his breakout role, you know.

It’s always scary when you’re doing a sequel to a film, because you don’t want to just repeat the first film in a different location like most sequels. You want to do something totally different,...

It’s not what we eat but what we digest that makes us strong; not what we gain but what we save that makes us rich; not what we read but what we remember that makes...

The best way to show that a stick is crooked is not to argue about it or to spend time denouncing it, but to lay a straight stick alongside it

It speaks volumes of their character. When I called, it would have been easy for them to write a check for $10,000 and blow me off. For him and Rosemary to step up and be...

I love doing theater so much – being in front of an audience and seeing how a character grows and develops with every performance.

I would never make up a character who didn’t exist or an event that didn’t transpire. If you’re a real writer, you have other tools in your toolbox to build drama.

Never say anything to hurt anyone. Moreover… refrain from double talk, from shrewd and canny remarks that are designed to advance our interests at someone’s disadvantage. We are to turn our back upon evil, and...

One Crack On A Mirror Can Ruin The Beauty of It But Most Importantly, It Ruins The Reflection of The Individual, By Making It Twisted, Zigzag And Ugly. Character Is Like A Mirror. So Build...

It was the simple fact that there was probably not a cooler character on earth that I could play…

I don’t care what people say about how I look or even their opinion on my relationship. But the moment you judge my character is when we have a problem.

I love actors. I love working with actors. I really enjoy the process. I love having those in-depth discussions about the interior of their character, and actors really love to discuss that, too. I could...
