Until we can manage time, we can manage nothing else.
Life must be aromatic. There must be scent, somehow there must be some.
We don't ask a flower any special reason for its existence. We just look at it and are able to accept it as being something different from ourselves.
Don't let anyone call you a minority if you're black or Hispanic or belong to some other ethnic group. You're not less than anybody else.
We are each other's harvest; we are each other's business; we are each other's magnitude and bond.
Do not desire to fit in. Desire to oblige yourselves to lead.
I believe we should all know each other, we human carriers of so many pleasurable differences. To not know is to doubt, to shrink from, sidestep or destroy.
A good show makes me happy. It's a great sensation. If you could capture a great atmosphere and do it every time, that would be amazing.

In terms of how I work with actors, having worked so heavily on the script I have a very clear idea of the characters; they are reasonably well illustrated in the script. If you cast it right, to a great degree you can hand it over to the actor and I just make suggestions. I'm not the kind of director who needs or wants to get into too much finessing. Ideally, when you hit the set, you have this conversation, like, 'eh, what did you think?' 'I don't know, what did you think?' 'Why don't we just try it again, make a few physical changes. '
God's on the outside looking in. He doesn't have any legal entree into the earth. The thing don't belong to Him. You see how sassy the Devil was in the presence of God in the book of Job? God said, 'Where have you been?' Wasn't any of God's business. He [Satan] didn't even have to answer if he didn't want to. . . God didn't argue with him a bit! You see, this is the position that God's been in Might say, 'Well, if God's running things He's doing a lousy job of it. ' He hadn't been running 'em, except when He's just got, you know, a little bit of a chance.
