We cannot live only for ourselves. A thousand fibers connect us with others; and along those fibers, as sympathetic threads, our actions run as causes, and they come back to us as effects.

Industry need not wish.

Benjamin Franklin

Work spares us from three evils: boredom, vice, and need

Voltaire

I was being taken around by a press agent at the Venice Film Festival at age 18. Was it fun? Sure. But it was a dangerous path to be walking on as far as having a substantive life. Because the casualty rate at the Venice Film Festival for 18-year-olds? High.

Ethan Hawke

Esther Williams

I try to make films that I find exciting. It makes me want to get out of bed at five in the morning, have my make-up done and play for the rest of the day.

Kristin Scott Thomas

The customs and fashions of men change like leaves on the bough, some of which go and others come.

Dante Alighieri

I hope you have not been leading a double life, pretending to be wicked and being really good all the time. That would be hypocrisy.

Charles Adrian Pacis

A person who can't pay gets another person who can't pay to guarantee that he can pay. Like a person with two wooden legs getting another person with two wooden legs to guarantee that he has got two natural legs. It don't make either of them able to do a walking-match.

Charles Dickens

I worked hard at becoming a professional football player, just like society says you should. It said you had to be fierce. I was fierce. Tough. I was tough.
