All through my life what I've loved doing is watching movies. I love the escapism of film, I love stories. So it is incredible to be able to be in them as much as I am, to see them from the first stitch in a costume to the end product.

The true value of man is not determined by his possession, supposed or real, of Truth, but rather by his sincere exertion to get to the Truth. It is not possession of Truth by which he extends his powers and in which his ever-growing perfectability is to be found. Possession makes one passive, indolent and proud. If God were to hold all Truth concealed in his right hand, and in his left only the steady and diligent drive for Truth, albeit with the proviso that I would always and forever err in the process, and to offer me the choice, I would with all humility take the left hand.

Gotthold Ephraim Lessing

I had absolutely no idea how I had ballooned during my pregnancy. All I thought about was eating plenty of food to keep my baby healthy.

Jennifer Ellison

It may be said with a degree of assurance that not everything that meets the eye is as it appears.

Rod Serling

When you do a drama, you are challenged to trust your inner voice much more. Because when you put a comedy in front of even a 25-person screening, you know whether it's working or not. The barometer is overt.

Shawn Levy

Courage and grace are a formidable mixture. The only place to see it is in the bullring.

Marlene Dietrich

To keep the heart unwrinkled, to be hopeful, kindly, cheerful, reverent

Thomas Bailey Aldrich

Human beings are the only animal that thinks they change who they are simply by moving to a different place. Birds migrate, but it's not quite the same thing.

Doug Coupland

I would not that death should take me asleep. I would not have him merely seize me, and only declare me to be dead, but win me, and overcome me. When I must shipwreck, I would do it in a sea, where mine impotency might have some excuse; not in a sullen weedy lake, where I could not have so much as exercise for my swimming.

John Donne

If your failure is not a lesson, it's indeed a failure.

Ogwo David Emenike

Language is like money, without which specific relative values may well exist and be felt, but cannot be reduced to a common denominator.

George Santayana

The taste for worst-case scenarios reflects the need to master fear of what is felt to be uncontrollable. It also expresses an imaginative complicity with disaster.

Susan Sontag

Hide not your talents. They for use were made. What's a sundial in the shade.

Benjamin Franklin
