The way people in the United States execute human beings would not pass muster for euthanasia of animals.
I'm not the least bit polished, I come from a blue collar background and I never thought I could feel comfortable around the English.
What I find really difficult is making career decisions. Normally it will take me two weeks, until the very last minute and I have to say yes or no. For a couple of weeks, I will tune everyone out who is giving me advice, so that I can make a clear decision on my own and it takes time.
I'm not the kind of guy who's taking advantage of my position.
I am going to continue to work hard, but I do not take it too seriously, I just do what feels right and I really want to have a good time.
There's more to life than movies.
I hope I'm in a position to make stuff that I really want to make as opposed to stuff that I just have to make for money reasons, or to sustain a certain marquee value.
I do have limits on my money. I like calling my mom to ask, "Can I have that?" Because I know I can be spending my money more wisely.
There is no excellence anywhere without labor. We would think a man foolish indeed who would say, "I am willing that my business should prosper, or that my farm should yield plentifully, but I'll not stir a peg. " But he is no more foolish than the man who says, "I am willing that God should bless me abundantly, but I shall not do anything toward that end myself. " We must consistently rely upon the help of the Lord, but we will not make any progress or meet with any success unless we put forth an earnest effort.
Moviegoers like to believe that those they have made stars are great actors. People used to say that Gary Cooper was a fine actor probably because when they looked in his face they were ready to give him their power of attorney.
I just like writing lyrics. I find a little satisfaction in performing live, making records. But primarily, I just try to write every day.
