I don't like to stick to one formula. That gets boring. I get bored, so I want to try different ways of getting inside something.
You learn so much from making mistakes, not even necessarily mistakes that I've made, a lot of the time the films just don't work out because it's a really difficult process. And sometimes there's a certain person underlining process. But I've had an opportunity to work on all different types of films and I have had a lot of opportunities to stretch myself in different ways and now is the time where I get to try and figure out out the roles that I can really play well and play them well.
The idea that we can operate in different times is very important for me. And it manifests in daily life or when you meditate. In a way, it's a very scientific thing that you experience for yourself, how time passes, how your body can react to time in different ways.
There is very little point in trying to urge the world to mend its ways as long as that world is still convinced that its ways are perfectly adequate.
If you don't believe in yourself, then who will believe in you? The next man's way of getting there might not necessarily work for me, so I have to create my own ways of getting there.
While the Lord will magnify us in both subtle and dramatic ways, he can only guide our footsteps when we move our feet.
There were several ways of understanding her: there was what she said, and there was what she meant, and there was something between the two, that was neither.
Grief is like a moving river, so that's what I mean by it's always changing. It's a strange thing to say because I'm at heart an optimistic person, but I would say in some ways it just gets worse. It's just that the more time that passes, the more you miss someone.
I can contribute, be valuable and grow in many ways, since my interests are so varied. That is very satisfying.
Italian cities have long been held up as ideals, not least by New Yorkers and Londoners enthralled by the ways their architecture gives beauty and meaning to everyday acts.
I love that people want to know about poetry. It's one of the ways of keeping alive.
North Korea's sin is that it refuses to surrender, to fall on its knees, to sacrifice its people. It refuses to become a slave. For centuries, European and later US colonialism punished such defiance in the most brutal ways. Western culture is, after all, based and built on slavery. It demands absolute compliance, unconditional submission. If North Korea is attacked, it should fight back! And it will.
The Bible, and the peace that comes about through a continuous relationship with God are the best ways of knowing His will.
Writing is a form of talking, although writing is such an odd thing in and of itself. People go about it in such different ways.

The more we serve our fellowmen in appropriate ways, the more substance there is to our souls.
One could say that artists are people who think naturally in highly patterned ways.
I don't really enjoy working in TV, to be completely honest, even though it's incredibly lucrative, I'm just terrified of not being satiated in a myriad of different ways. It's amazing that I get to create every day, as an actor, or a director, or a writer, and I get to do it in a variety of different genres and worlds and characterizations. I think that's the great privilege of what we do, we get to make believe. I get to go to so many different places, try on different occupations, take on different points of view. That's what's always been sort of alluring.
I'm very progressive in a lot of ways, but I'm a very proud American. It sounds so corny to say, but I am and have always been very. . . I'm just so proud. I don't ever not want to live in America.
I'm no good with words but I'll find ways from time to time to show you how grateful I am.
