Edward Norton quotes about
If I'm trying to put size on for a role, then I don't do much running.
There are so many people who are conscientious and caring about others. I've spent time working in countries where I really noticed the absence of civic concern, care for other people. I've been in other countries where I feel a palpable, almost tooth-and-claw attitude between people - Machiavellian, me and mine. And you can take for granted being here, with all the bloviating and the media, on a day-to-day level, people in this country are really pretty concerned for each other.
As we say in the sewer, time and tide wait for no man.
If Nick Broomfield never found anyone with affection for Courtney Love, it's only because he conspicuously avoided the countless friends, colleagues and fans who appreciate her talent and admire her as a person. But then, why would Broomfield have opened up his film to those of us who work with Courtney and are close to her when there are so many bitter left - behinds and desperate attention - seekers eager to validate his attack on her character? Inquisitors in every age, scared of forceful women, have used all kinds of half - baked testimony to whip up chants of 'Burn the witch!'
I grew up on the golden age of children's TV.
As we say in the sewer, if you're not prepared to go all the way, don't put your boots on in the first place.
When the tides of life turn against you And the current upsets your boat, Don't waste those tears on what might have been, Just lie on your back and float.
Popularity is the slutty little cousin of prestige, my friend.
It must be good to be in Germany and France, because I have completely forgotten what it is like to be proud of your government.
It's dismaying to see the unilateralism that the government is doing.
It's ginned up by the corporate plutocracy as a way of distracting the working-class people that it's screwing. We hamstring our own natural progressivism in this country, and that's really stupid.
I tend to relate to a character in terms of the arc: what's interesting is where he starts versus where he ends up.
I don't have anything to prove to anybody, which is a lovely place to be.
