Agressive music can only shock you once. Afterwards its impact declines. It's inevitable.

Without music to decorate it time is just a bunch of boring production deadlines or dates by which bills must be paid.

Music was my refuge. I could crawl into the space between the notes and curl my back to loneliness.

I watch and listen to movies today and am shocked by the way actors deliver their lines. Everybody mumbles now and I don't understand why.

There are movies that require fantasy and slightly more fantastical acting. Lines that are good for certain movies in real life circumstances would be absolutely unbelievable things to really say and you would look at these people like they're freaks for conversing that way. But somehow for certain styles of movies it works and it seems fine.

Now if you are like me - if you are like practically anybody in America - then you probably hold some negative opinions about the French based upon movies rumors recent headlines unfortunate run-ins with Parisian waiters or... you know... all that unpleasantness surrounding the Vichy regime.

Most movies once the action starts there's no more characters. You say a couple of dumb lines and then there's just explosions until the end.

I think being self-referential is really narcissistic. Who's to say anybody's even thinking of you that much? But some of these movies that I've done people still recite lines to me even 20 years later.

Problems are not stop signs they are guidelines.

In a few days an officer came to our camp under a flag of truce and informed Hamilton then a captain of artillery but afterwards the aid of General Washington that Captain Hale had been arrested within the British lines condemned as a spy and executed that morning.

What I do is not some magical mystical thing. I simply get up in the morning get to work on time say my lines and do the best I can.

You say something stupid and the next morning you're in the headlines.

Nothing is more beautiful than the loveliness of the woods before sunrise.

Sensitivity and money are like parallel lines. They don't meet.

I have a 16 year-old son so I'm now a soccer mom. I stand on the sidelines and I hear the things parents are saying so I want them to understand what it is their kids are feeling in any sports environment.

Give me six lines written by the most honorable of men and I will find an excuse in them to hang him.

Men are governed by lines of intellect - women: by curves of emotion.

A woman who is willing to be herself and pursue her own potential runs not so much the risk of loneliness as the challenge of exposure to more interesting men - and people in general.

There is no loneliness like that of a failed marriage.

To fall in love is easy even to remain in it is not difficult our human loneliness is cause enough. But it is a hard quest worth making to find a comrade through whose steady presence one becomes steadily the person one desires to be.

Love is something far more than desire for sexual intercourse it is the principal means of escape from the loneliness which afflicts most men and women throughout the greater part of their lives.

Hallow the body as a temple to comeliness and sanctify the heart as a sacrifice to love love recompenses the adorers.

Sometimes I feel like one who is on the sidelines who has missed life itself.

We should not blur the lines between legal and illegal immigrants. Millions of people around the world have gone through the process to come here legally and they followed the rules that required them to pay a fee learn English and learn about American history and government.
