Movies don't look hard, but figuring it out, getting the shape of it, getting everybody's character right and having it be funny, make sense and be romantic, it's creating a puzzle. Yes, having been a writer for so long, I have an awareness of when things are going awry, but it doesn't mean I know how to fix them.

I am intrigued by inanimate objects. They're a piece of history, someone's statement and ideas of life.

Mike Mills

The real thinking of woman is pre-eminently practical and applied. It is something we describe as sound common sense, and is usually directed to what is close at hand and personal. In general, it can be said that feminine mentality manifests an undeveloped, childlike, or primitive character; instead of the thirst for knowledge, curiosity; instead of judgment, prejudice; instead of thinking, imagination or dreaming; instead of will, wishing. Where a man takes up objective problems, a woman contents herself with solving riddles; where he battles for knowledge and understanding, she contents herself with faith or superstition, or else she makes assumptions.

Emma Jung

You will say that these are very small sins; and doubtless, like all young tempters, you are anxious to be able to report spectacular wickedness. But do remember, the only thing that matters is the extent to which you separate the man from the Enemy. It does not matter how small the sins are provided that their cumulative effect is to edge the man away from the Light and out into the Nothing. Murder is no better than cards if cards can do the trick. Indeed the safest road to Hell is the gradual one-the gentle slope, soft underfoot, without sudden turnings, without milestones, without signposts.

C.S. Lewis

Everyone carries his own inch rule of taste, and amuse himself by applying it, triumphantly, wherever he travels.

Henry Adams

Be good and you will be lonesome.

Mark Twain

I know not, Madam, that you have a right, upon moral principles, to make your readers suffer so much.

Samuel Johnson

I've never had body issues, I've never had an eating disorder. I've never had to go on a diet and that's because of Weight Watchers.

Ginnifer Goodwin

I turned on VH1 this morning just to get a little warm-up before I came over here, and I think it's just terrific. There's so much great stuff: diverse and wonderful music, good performances, great looking girls, great videos, the whole thing.

Debbie Harry

You do not want to get married at 22! Especially if you're famous, because girls are going to be throwing themselves at you.

Usain Bolt

A king's son is no nobler than his company.

Scottish Proverb

It's nice to know that people appreciate and respect you.

Marcel Carne

Sex is one of the nine reasons for reincarnation. The other eight are unimportant.
