Desperation is the perfume of the young actor. It's so satisfying to have gotten rid of it. If you keep smelling it, it can drive you crazy. In this business a lot of people go nuts, go eccentric, even end up dead from it. Not my plan.

Do not fear to be eccentric in opinion, for every opinion now accepted was once eccentric.

Bertrand Russell

Just as with swimming or riding a bike, you can't really learn how to fall in love from reading a book not even this one. Sure you can read about the different swimming strokes or the parts of a bicycle; you can learn the theory and physics behind the sport. But to get to the heart of the matter you've got to leap in and learn by doing.

Nicholas Boothman

Such discussions help us very little to enjoy what has been well done in art or poetry, to discriminate between what is more and what is less excellent in them, or to use words like beauty, excellence, art, poetry, with a more precise meaning than they would otherwise have.

Walter Pater

What I do doesn't sit well in the world of hipsterville. I don't have a cool card, but I also don't have thin skin.

Chris Daughtry

I travel light. I think the most important thing is to be in a good mood and enjoy life, wherever you are.

Diane von Furstenberg

It's not necessary to fear the prospect of failure but to be determined not to fail.

Jimmy Carter

You know you're in love when you can't fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams.

Dr. Seuss

Be strong, believe in freedom and in God, love yourself, understand your sexuality, have a sense of humor, masturbate, don't judge people by their religion, color or sexual habits, love life and your family.

Madonna Ciccone

A man, whilst he is dreaming, believes in his dream; he is undeceived only when he is awakened from his slumber.

Mahatma Gandhi

It's mainly about working hard and proving to people you're serious about it, and stretching yourself and learning. The mistake a lot of actors make, particularly young ones, is allowing themselves to feel that they're the finished articles, the bee's knees, and it's not true.

Daniel Radcliffe

Charity is no substitute for justice withheld.

Saint Augustine of Hippo

Everything that can be counted does not necessarily count; everything that counts cannot necessarily be counted.

Albert Einstein
