accept anyone art good hard heart laurence liking people reasons smart valid
I think it was Laurence Olivier who said that one of the things you have to accept in art is that when you put your heart into doing something there will be people who don't like it for really good reasons, really smart people who don't like what you've done for very valid reasons. That is hard to accept, that there are really valid reasons for not liking anything. The astonishing thing is that there haven't been many valid reasons for anyone not to like this movie.
good help people pull suffer themselves
I don't want people who are in poverty, in pain, or suffering, to suffer because it's for their own good and they can pull themselves up by their bootstraps. I want to help them. I want us all to help them.

I read a lot of books to my children, and they all seem really good. I think people have gotten really good at children's books.

All David Blaine is is a good-looking magician.
against certainly extremists faithful good paint people plane religious second truly
When 9/11 hit, the second thing I said to myself was, 'This really is what religious people do.' Those people flying the plane were very good, very pious, truly faithful believers. There's no other way to paint them. Of course, they are extremists by definition, but they certainly aren't going against Islam in any real way.

Penn & Teller stopped doing practical jokes, and the reason is we got much too good at it.

Please print that I promised him I wouldn't do it. I feel awful about it. I wish I hadn't done it.
mom people whether
My mom, if you asked her if she was interested in whether or not people gambled, would say no.
actual died greater number people
When you look at the actual numbers, the number of people who died after 9/11 was greater than the number of people who died in 9/11, even if you are talking Americans. But you know, I don't like to talk Americans. I want to talk everybody. More innocent people died after 9/11 because of 9/11 than died in 9/11.
