A friend of my mom's was a casting director so really as kind of a lark I had a couple of acting jobs that had just enough exposure to give me the option to continue if I wanted to. I followed through with it.

Mom spent the time that she was supposed to be a kid actully raising children her younger brother and younger sister. She was tough as nails and did not suffer fools at all. And the truth was she could not afford to. She spoke the truth bluntly directly and without much varnish. I am her son.

Men's ideas are the most direct emanations of their material state.

It is easier to lead men to combat stirring up their passion than to restrain them and direct them toward the patient labors of peace.

Half the pictures directed by men of reputation fail.

What's with you men? Would hair stop growing on your chest if you asked directions somewhere?

That's the thing. in medicine you're used to saying there's a problem within the person and saying there's a problem within the culture that's not a medical answer. Medicine has to look in one direction so there's only one type of answer that they can find.

We are confident that the Supreme Court will soon see the direction that this country is headed and enshrine marriage as a constitutional right for all.

Marriage resembles a pair of shears so joined that they cannot be separated often moving in opposite directions yet always punishing anyone who comes between them.

Love does not consist in gazing at each other but in looking outward together in the same direction.

Be Impeccable With Your Word. Speak with integrity. Say only what you mean. Avoid using the word to speak against yourself or to gossip about others. Use the power of your word in the direction of truth and love.

The quality of a person's life is in direct proportion to their commitment to excellence regardless of their chosen field of endeavor.

One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life never deciding to master anything in particular.

A man sooner or later discovers that he is the master-gardener of his soul the director of his life.

I wish the government and the Minister of Justice would address these legal and constitutional arguments but they refuse to. They want Canadians to go blindly into their brave new world but it is not wise for a society to move blindly in any direction.

I want to direct produce and write learning as I go.

I've just been learning how to direct my own videos choreography doing costumes... every creative opportunity there is with my music I've taken.

The director's job is full of all sorts of annoyances and details - like how many cars are on the street. Ugh. I don't want it. I like my gig. And I feel that for the next 30 years or so I can keep learning more about it.

Of course I'd like to produce and direct a blockbuster but you gotta build up to that. So now I'm learning from a bunch of little movies. And it's more fun with smaller pictures. It's more creative.

I love the work I love being in front of the camera and working with actors and directors and creating something. For me it's like learning everyday.

I felt that if there wasn't going to be a good opportunity then I would just go back to second units which I love keep working with great directors keep learning and knowing that the opportunity would come when the time was right.

And later I thought I can't think how anyone can become a director without learning the craft of cinematography.

I'd love to do a romantic comedy. And perhaps if the character was right and I had a good gut instinct a Bollywood movie. And I'd love to direct. One day. I'm learning a lot on the set of 'The Good Wife.'

I guess confidence is the only thing that I take from project to project but I'm always open to learning everybody's style - the director the actor I'm working with.
