Remington Tate, I swear to you—I swear—that when I’m able to get up from this stupid bed and run again, you’re always, always, going to be the one thing I’ll run straight to.
Remember: Rewards come in action, not in discussion.
If you talk about it, it's a dream, if you envision it, it's possible, but if you schedule it, it's real.
Ten years from now you'll laugh at whatever's stressing you out today. So why not laugh now?
No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn't trying.
I believe life is constantly testing us for our level of commitment, and life's greatest rewards are reserved for those who demonstrate a never-ending commitment to act until they achieve. This level of resolve can move mountains, but it must be constant and consistent. As simplistic as this may sound, it is still the common denominator separating those who live their dreams from those who live in regret.
Don't surround yourself with people who just affirm you. Surround yourself with people who challenge you.
One who is wise and disciplined, always kind and intelligent, humble and free from pride. One like this will be praised.
Some of us are interested in directors, but really the vast majority of us are interested in actors. You experience the films through the actors, so they're all locked into your imagination in some kind of layer of fantasy or hatred or wherever they settle into your imagination.
Memory of our good works makes us negligent and leads to arrogance. Do not think of your good deeds, so that God may remember them.
I love telling stories. When people interview me live I'm totally forthcoming about stories like that - as long as it's not going to be in print or recorded. It's just for whoever's in the audience. It's always been for me kind of fun and then everyone walks out of there, "She told this story about da da da" but nobody can prove it.
