A hero knows it takes hard work and a long time to get published; a fool thinks it should happen immediately, because he thinks heÕs a hero already.Collection: Hero
Great ideas are fish in a stream. Your pen/pencil is a spear. If you don't spear them, they'll swim on by. Be ready.Collection: Ideas
[Rumors are a] vehicle for anxieties and aspirations that may not be openly expressed.Collection: Anxiety
Secrets are inherently selfish. The longer you keep them, the harder it is to put yourself in other people's shoes about them and the more irrational your thinking surrounding it becomes.Collection: Selfish
I certainly am not afraid of hard work. Hard work is only hard if you are not passionate about what you are doing.Collection: Hard Work
Revenge is a really narrow scope through which to view things. In the same way secrets do, it has this ability to warp everything. But secrets are more inward, and revenge is outward.Collection: Revenge
I'm a really anxious person, so I tend not to keep secrets. I tend not to even want to hear them. It's too nerve-wracking for me to try and keep things from people.Collection: People
Secrets can be poisonous.Collection: Secret
I certainly very much enjoy acting, but I am open to anything really. I think it's important when you have those moments in life when you are not attached to something, and you are not quite sure what the next phase of your journey is going to look like, that you don't pigeon-hole yourself.Collection: Journey
The more people you run into, the greater your exposure, the easier it is to understand and empathize with other people. So if you are living in a much smaller ecosystem, it's probably easier to have simpler feelings.Collection: Running
I can remember the time I would get my scripts and spent the entire weekend breaking them down and playing with them, and putting a lot of work into them, trying to bring the character to life, and to make interesting choices. It was one of the things to me that told me that I needed to change things up a little bit, because to me, I felt the passion was lacking from some of my performances.Collection: Character
Secrets are always never as well kept as people think they are. More often than not when you reveal something, especially the bigger it is, people always had some inkling, or they're like, "Well, yeah, of course."Collection: Thinking
It's always fun to try something new, and to play a new character, and it's fun to play another period.Collection: Fun
As your life goes on you should gain a deeper understanding of the world and the people moving through it; but that might be asking too much.Collection: Moving
No matter how old you are, if you're just not an empathetic person, it's a lot easier to concentrate solely on something that is injuring another person to even some score. Hopefully as people grow older, their ability to empathize deepens.Collection: People
The sad thing is that often when you expose your secrets and become more honest with yourself, you find the reaction from the outside world is more complicated than the intense guilt you yourself have inflicted.Collection: Secret
