It's extraordinary how self-obsessed human beings are. The things that people always go on about is, 'tell us about us', 'tell us about the first human being'. We are so self-obsessed with our own history. There is so much more out there than what connects to us.
The one thing I would hope would go on my tombstone is, 'I made my parents proud. '
You cannot stay the shell in its flight; after it has left the mortar, it goes on to its mark, and there explodes, dealing destruction all around. Just as little can you stay the consequences of a sin after it has been committed. You may repent of it, you may even be forgiven for it, but still it goes on its deadly and desolating way. It has passed entirely beyond your reach; once done, it cannot be undone.
It is not merely that people must die and people must suffer, if not here, then there. But what is dreadful is that the world goes on and people go on being stupidly cruel - in the old ways and all the time.
It's much, much harder working on a show than it is working on a movie. It really is. Even if you're in production, that production lasts for a set period of time. A TV show goes on for months and months and months.
I tend to lose my performance energy the longer things go on for, so I'm always best on the very first take.
I start at the beginning, go on to the end, then stop.
When you have won everything in your career, what's left? Why go on?
I am still encouraged to go on. I wouldn't know where else to go.
You are not even aware of what is possible. The extent of their capabilities is horrifying. We can plant bugs in machines. Once you go on the network, I can identify your machine. You will never be safe whatever protections you put in place.
You don't know for sure why things happen, but you know, it did! It was my time to go on the show and I'm excited to see what my future holds.
I think generally I'm kind of interested in subjective experience, what goes on inside someone's head, that being all they really know of the world.
You're only young once, they say, but doesn't it go on for a long time? More years than you can bear.
What is a scene? a) A scene starts and ends in one place at one time (the Aristotelian unities of time and place-this stuff goes waaaayyyy back). b) A scene starts in one place emotionally and ends in another place emotionally. Starts angry, ends embarrassed. Starts lovestruck, ends disgusted. c) Something happens in a scene, whereby the character cannot go back to the way things were before. Make sure to finish a scene before you go on to the next. Make something happen.
School is very conformist, and one of the very first conforming that goes on in preschool and kindergarten is gender.
As time goes on, I will play characters who get older: I don't want to be some Botoxed weirdo.
The opening scene in A New Hope, when you see the huge ship, it goes on, and on, and on, and on, and on. . . that is like a joke of awesomeness.
Until the missing story of ourselves is told, nothing besides told can suffice us: we shall go on quietly craving it.
I wanted desperately to go on living in someone's memory. If we are not remembered, we are more than dead, for it is as if we had never lived
. . . as long as we go on loving and working life is worth while.
