Summary

This quote emphasizes the importance of pushing oneself beyond their perceived limits in order to achieve greatness. It suggests that unless a person takes on tasks that seem impossible or overwhelming at first, they will never reach their full potential or accomplish everything they are capable of. By embracing challenges and stepping out of their comfort zone, individuals are encouraged to tap into their true abilities and push the boundaries of what they thought possible. Only by taking on more than they think they can handle can they truly unleash their full potential and achieve remarkable things.

I definitely wanted to be an actor. I didn't want to be on TV, I didn't want to be famous, I didn't want to be anyone in particular I just wanted to do it.

But I definitely wanted to be an actor.

A strict observance of the written laws is doubtless one of the high duties of a good citizen, but it is not the highest. The laws of necessity, of self-preservation, of saving our country when in danger, are of higher obligation. To lose our country by a scrupulous adherence to written law, would be to lose the law itself, with life, liberty, property and all those who are enjoying them with us; thus absurdly sacrificing the end to the means.

What I love about new technology is that it really pushes the art. It really pushes it in a way that you can't imagine until you come up with the idea. It's idea-based. You can do anything.
