We have all a better guide in ourselves, if we would attend to it, than any other person can be.

Jane Austen

Patience is a most necessary qualification for business; many a man would rather you heard his story than granted his request. One must seem to hear the unreasonable demands of the petulant, unmoved, and the tedious details of the dull, untired. That is the least price that a man must pay for a high station.

There is no doubt in my mind that a fence will be built, political pressure are too heavy to resist. There is also no doubt that it will be ineffectual.

By the way, movies are like sporting events in that you're as good as the movie you're in.

By the same token, you can do five movies a year and if they're dreck, it's nothing.
