The beautiful journey of today can only begin when we learn to let go of yesterday.

I'm looking at working with people I get on with, that respect me, that don't just see me as a piece of ass. Which I have experienced as well. I've nearly walked off very big films before, and I would, because I don't want that in my life. I want to enjoy the work I do.

Gemma Arterton

A musician must make music, an artist must paint, a poet must write, if he is to be ultimately at peace with himself.

Abraham Maslow

Death does determine life. Once life is finished it acquires a sense; up to that point it has not got a sense; its sense is suspended and therefore ambiguous. However, to be sincere I must add that for me death is important only if it is not justified and rationalized by reason. For me death is the maximum of epicness and death.

Pier Paolo Pasolini

I don't have anything to prove anymore. I don't have a record deal, no one has any expectations, I'm in a position of freedom. I don't need anyone's approval.

Juliana Hatfield

The prohibition law, written for weaklings and derelicts, has divided the nation, like Gaul, into three parts

Florence Sabin

It is unfair to blame man too fiercely for being pugnacious he learned the habit from Nature.

Christopher Morley

It's never too late to be who you might have been.

George Eliot

It doesn't matter to me if a man is from Harvard or Sing Sing. We hire the man, not his history.

Henry Ford

They say: In the long run truth will triumph; but it is untrue.

Anton Chekhov

You cannot become thorough Americans if you think of yourselves in groups. America does not consist of groups. A man who thinks of himself as belonging to a particular national group in America has not yet become an American.

Woodrow Wilson

I wanted to make a movie, because the whole life of the movies appealed to me. You work hard for three or four months, then you don't work at all for a couple of months.

Gregory Hines

The liberated man is not the one who is freed in his ideal reality, his inner truth, or his transparency; he is the man who changes spaces, who circulates, who changes sex, clothes, and habits according to fashion, rather than morality, and who changes opinions not as his conscience dictates but in response to opinion polls.
