That's the fun thing about making movies is that you get to do stuff. You get to be things, say things that you're not, kind of walk in someone else's shoes and play dress up and make believe. It's pretty cool. ~Mark Webber

Any fact facing us is not as important as our attitude toward it, for that determines our success or failure. The way you think about a fact may defeat you before you ever do anything about it. You are overcome by the fact because you think you are. ~Norman Vincent Peale

Patty Griffin is iconic, and there's no other word to really describe her. She is iconic for a lot of people; not only for me but for a lot of fans. Her voice is one of a kind, and she's such an important figure in the American music scene. ~Dierks Bentley

When we were all kids, there was one particular trailer that I think we can all remember. That was the trailer for "Close Encounters of the Third Kind." There was an amazing teaser trailer with all this weird kind of documentary footage. We were like, "What was that! I've got to see that! What the hell was that?" ~Matt Reeves

I think there's a side of me that's trying to compete with Lucas and Spielberg. I don't usually admit this publicly, because I tend to think that they only go so far, and their view of the world is rather simplistic. What I want to do is take whatever cinema is considered normal or successful at a particular time and play around with it, to use it as a way of luring audiences in. ~Terry Gilliam

I love performing and having people hear my music more that anything. ~Britney Spears
#quotes #britney-spears #music
One of my lungs is half gone, and the other half, because I smoked for years, has a lesion. So I can't swim anymore and had the swimming pool covered over. Now it's what I call the dance pavilion, and so I and my friends sit out and put music on and watch people dance. ~Maya Angelou

Something will be there when the flood recedes. We know that. It will be those people now standing in the water, and on those rooftops, many black, many poor. Homeless. Overlooked. And it will be New Orleans, though its memory may be shortened, its self-gaze and eccentricity scoured out so that what's left is a city more like other cities, less insular, less self-regarding, but possibly more self-knowing after today. A city on firmer ground. ~Richard Ford

It's hard to say that my twenties were the most miserable time in my life or that my first wife drove me crazy or that I hated the job that I had. You can say all of those things. But for the most part, people manage to have a good time when they're that age. ~Frank Stella

This world is run by people who know how to do things. They know how things work. They are equipped. Up there, there is a layer of people who run everything. But we, we are just peasants. We do not understand what is going on, and we cannot do anything. ~Doris Lessing
