Every time you watch a performance in the theatre, you know that this is just for you, and will never be the same again. It is quite exciting for me.
Science, or para-science, tells us that geraniums bloom better if they are spoken to. But a kind word every now and then is really quite enough. Too much attention, like too much feeding, and weeding and hoeing, inhibits and embarrasses them.
Less is even less, and more is still not quite enough.
Always sailing, sailing, sailing. . . never quite reaching.
I am at home everywhere, and nowhere. I am never a stranger and I never quite belong.
The characters are great, and this is the first adventure of the brothers Grimm, so there's plenty of potential to make a franchise. We've been quite successful in the past, so anything like that, if it does pay off with hopefully the good movie that I think it will be, it pays off also down the road.
The thing to remember about the Declaration of Independence and the profession of freedom is that it was written by people who were quite free and who were surrounded by people who were not free. The people who wrote the Declaration of Independence were ventriloquists really. The obsession with freedom makes no sense when it applies to them.
Living in Montgomery, I've been antagonized by the emergence of a narrative about our history that I believe is quite false and misleading, and actually dangerous. And the narrative that emerges when you spend time in the South - places likes Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, Louisiana - is that we have always been a noble, wonderful, glorious region of the country, with wonderful, noble, glorious people doing wonderful, noble, glorious things. And there's great pride in the Alabamians of the nineteenth century.
If you look at the game and everything, it's not quite like looking at an animated film, because that's total character. This, this is really movement, but it's got funny little things if you look for the humor. They're actually getting to the character.
I'm quite a fan of British designers.
School was great. There were no boys there, which didn't really bother me at the time because I had two brothers, so I was quite pleased not to spend any more time with boys.
So dull and dark are the November days. The lazy mist high up the evening curled, And now the morn quite hides in smoke and haze; The place we occupy seems all the world.
We are not that flash, me or the missus. In fact, we are quite low-maintenance.
I really wanted to find a piano for the farm house. There were so many free pianos on Craigslist, I thought, 'Let's get as many free pianos as we can and stick them all in the barn. ' I got eight in a short period of time, only six of which were tunable, but it's still quite funny.
The only reason I'm acting in films I direct is to get the money to make them, quite frankly, it's not what I'm interested in doing.
I am a camera with its shutter open, quite passive, recording, not thinking.
My dad's cool with that kind of stuff. He always wanted me to do my best. I'm quite dyslexic in school. My dad let me figure out what I wanted to do on my own. My parents never really lecture me.
I had one relative who passed away but fortunately none others. So my sort of experience of it is quite limited, thankfully.
She was learning, quite late, what many people around her appeared to have known since childhood that life can be perfectly satisfying without major achievements.
Even when the universe made it quite clear to me that I was mistaken in my certainties. . . I did not break. The shattering of my sureties did not shatter me.
