Fear can make a moth seem the size of a bull elephant.

Fear can make a moth seem the size of a bull elephant.

Summary

This quote suggests that fear has the power to distort our perception of reality. When we are afraid, even the smallest or trivial things can appear intimidating and overwhelming, much like a tiny moth being perceived as a massive elephant. It highlights how fear can amplify our anxieties and make us perceive situations or obstacles as far more significant and insurmountable than they truly are. Consequently, it serves as a reminder to confront and overcome our fears in order to clearer see and navigate the challenges that lie before us.

Something like 'Without a Paddle' does really well at the box office and I'm like, 'Oh, here we go.' In 'Without a Paddle' I'm the romantic lead - great! A comedy and that's what America wants. Then it did nothing for me and I went into kind-of a work abyss. I just didn't get another shot.

Most Americans are born drunk, and really require a little wine or beer to sober them. They have a sort of permanent intoxication from within, a sort of invisible champagne. Americans do not need to drink to inspire them to do anything, though they do sometimes, I think, need a little for the deeper and more delicate purpose of teaching them how to do nothing.
