Even if people hate my other movies, and hate me, or whatever, I think from this point of view, Postal is the most important movie after September 11. It's not respecting any edge, any border, any nation, any religion - it's an all-type offender. I think that only if everybody gets a little pissed about something then you will start thinking about your situation.
You could have fooled me. Everytime I called you, Luke said you were sick. I figured you were avoiding me. Again. " "I wasn't. I did want to talk to you. I've been thinking about you all the time.

Christianity, like most religions, works with fear. Sins can be confessed and you are 'Clean again' and can start to sin again without thinking about your old sins. We believe that people should ask themselves why they sinned. They should show some responsibility.
Really life is about narcissism; no one is ever thinking about you much. You always think people are thinking about you way more than they are.
I like Dr. Daniel Amen's 184060 Rule: When you're 18, you worry about what everybody is thinking of you; when you're 40, you don't give a darn what anybody thinks of you; when you're 60, you realize nobody's been thinking about you at all.
If you would know what a cat is thinking about, you must hold its paw in your hand for a long time.
It's always surprising to be reminded that while you're watching and thinking about people, all knowing and superior, they're watching and thinking about you, right back at you.
You find yourself by losing yourself. By not thinking about yourself all of the time. When I am in a slump with my writing, I'll go and walk for a week. Walk and not see a human being. Something happens after four or five days which is quite wonderful. It is an ancient thing. Your sense of smell. Your hearing. They come back.
You need people around you that care about you and are thinking about you in your best interest. And keep your mind straight.
When you win a Grammy. . . you're thinking about you winning. It is amazing. Your peers and folks in the record business are saying, 'This is what we think of you. ' And that's why the Grammy will always be, to me, the ultimate in what you get as far as a music trophy, because it is the one.
If you spend a lot of time thinking about your problems, they'll grow bigger and stronger. Is that what you want? Of course not!Instead, focus on your goals. Start your day with them at the front of your mind, and use notes to recall them strategically throughout your day.
People who are thinking about your music almost as much as you are, that almost never happens.
You'll find people less threatening if you hear what they're needing rather than what they're thinking about you.
When you're 20 you care what everyone thinks, when you're 40 you stop caring what everyone thinks, when you're 60 you realize no one was ever thinking about you in the first place. You have enemies? Good. That means you've stood up for something, sometime in your life.
It's probably the last thing you think about when you're making a film is other people's problems. You're thinking about your problem, which is making the movie. But you do have a responsibility. You can't mess around with people's emotions.
As always, with acting, you can't be too self-conscious. You shouldn't care about what people are thinking about you at the time because they're not caring about you, they're caring about the character.
I work for perfection, for perfection's sake. I don't care what the external reasons are. And it's much more like a ballerina on opening night. You've done what you've got to do. When you go out, the purpose is to turn a perfect turn. You are not thinking about the future of the company, you are not thinking about your future, you're not thinking about the critics, it is you and the perfect turn.
But I think that what you'll discover more and more as you get older is that most people aren't thinking about you at all.
It's a passion when you're doing it for other people and you're doing it for the people around you making the film and the people who are going to see the film, and the giving. When you start thinking about you doing it for some sort of self-gain, then I think it becomes an obsession. It becomes a negative experience.
Quit thinking about your weight and start thinking about your worth and who you are and what you haven't done yet. What you want to accomplish.
