More From Carson McCullers

I did 40 voices for chris wedge, the director of the first film, before coming up with the version we used. he was hard to please, i don't know why. i gave him really slow talking voices. then i thought perhaps sid could be an indian sounding sloth. to find out more about my character, i watched footage of sloths. i discovered that the food they store in their pouches rots and ferments and half the time they're drunk.
Character Talking Voice
Everything goes, everything comes back; eternally rolls the wheel of being. everything dies, everything blossoms again; eternally runs the year of being. everything breaks, everything is joined anew; eternally the same house of being is built. everything parts, everything greets every other thing again; eternally the ring of being remains faithful to itself. in every now, being begins; round every here rolls the sphere there. the center is everywhere. bent is the path of eternity.

So when somebody asks me to make a decision about a situation, i don't offer a solution, i ask a question: what are our options? give me the good, give me the bad, give me the pretty, give me the ugly, give me the impossible, give me the possible, give me the convenient, give me the inconvenient. give me the options. all i want are options. and once i have all the options before me, then i comfortably and confidently make my decision.

You cannot extend the mastery of government over the daily life of a people without somewhere making it master of people's souls and thoughts.... every step in that direction poisons the very roots of liberalism. it poisons political equality, free speech, free press, and equality of opportunity. it is the road not to more liberty but to less liberty.

Now, ideas are the raw material of progress. everything first takes shape in the form of an idea. but an idea itself is worth nothing. an idea, like a machine, must have power applied to it before it can accomplish anything. the men who have won fame and fortune through having an idea are those who devoted every ounce of their strength and every dollar they could muster to putting it into operation. ford had a big idea, but he had to sweat and suffer and sacrifice to make it work.
