Fathers should be neither seen nor heard. That is the only proper basis for family life. Mothers are different. Mothers are darlings.

I would uphold the law if for no other reason but to protect myself.

Thomas Moore

A cynic is a blackguard whose faulty vision sees things as they are, and not as they ought to be.

Ambrose Bierce

After Blood Simple, everybody thought I was from Texas. After Mississippi Burning, everybody thought I was from Mississippi and uneducated. After Fargo, everybody's going to think I'm from Minnesota, pregnant, and have blonde hair. I don't think you can ever completely transform yourself on film, but if you do your job well, you can make people believe that you're the character you're trying to be.

Frances McDormand

We are in the black theater of nonexistence. In an eye blink the curtain is up, the stage ablaze, for the vast drama of ourselves.

Herman Wouk

If you believe in God, He will open the windows of heaven and pour blessings upon you.

Mahalia Jackson

The Lord doesn't ask about your ability, only your availability; and, if you prove your dependability, the Lord will increase your capability.

There is good in everything; it's just how you choose to look at it. Everything that's worth it has a price. For me to be a model - I had to leave my family. Do you think I liked that? No! There are sacrifices. Life is meant to be a challenge, because challenges are what make you grow.

Gisele Bundchen

A great deal of talent is lost to the world for want of a little courage. Every day sends to their graves obscure men whose timidity prevented them from making a first effort.

Sydney Smith

I think of horror films as art, as films of confrontation. Films that make you confront aspects of your own life that are difficult to face. Just because you're making a horror film doesn't mean you can't make an artful film.

David Cronenberg

I totally changed my life, changed my lifestyle.

Marilu Henner

Sometimes Alton Darwin would talk to me about the planet he was on before he was transported in a steel box to Athena. 'Drugs were food,' he said. 'I was in the food business. Just because people on one planet eat a certain kind of food they're hungry for, that makes them feel better after they eat it, that doesn't mean people on other planets shouldn't eat something else. On some planets I'm sure there are people who eat stones, and then feel wonderful for a little while afterwords. Then it's time to eat stones again.

Kurt Vonnegut

I've gotten to a point, where I realize that happiness doesn't come from the outside.
