More From Herb Ritts

Robert deniro, who may be the greatest living actor, usually acts in a way which is very stone-faced, like steve mcqueen. for example, steve mcqueen, if you cut the sound, you don't know what he's acting really. he gives to the lines, to the text, something very special, and he's very good. he was a great actor. but, to do a silent movie, you have to have more expressive actors.

When god gives you a door, if you want access, you go through that door. people didn't like jesus. oh, they had all kind of reasons to hate him but jesus said, "i am the door. any man who enters must come by me. if you don't come by me," he said, "you're a thief and a robber." well, if omarosa manigault is the door to donald trump, well i kind of like that door. that's a pretty door. that's an intelligent door. that's a spiritually rooted door.

I looked at other couples and wondered how they could be so calm about it. they held hands as if they weren't even holding hands. when steve and i held hands, i had to keep looking down to marvel at it. there was my hand, the same hand i've always had - oh, but look! what is it holding? it's holding steve's hand! who is steve? my three-dimensional boyfriend. each day i wondered what would happen next. what happens when you stop wanting, when you are happy. i supposed i would go on being happy forever. i knew i would not mess things up by growing bored. i had done that once before.

The wind was a torrent of darkness among the gusty trees, the moon was a ghostly galleon tossed upon cloudy seas, the road was a ribbon of moonlight, over the purple moor, and the highwayman came riding-- riding--riding-- the highwayman came riding, up to the old inn-door.

Similar Quotes
And yet ... but what if ... i want to do something impossible. something astounding and unheard of. i want to scrub the moss off the space shuttle and fly julie to the moon and colonise it, or float a capsized cruise ship to some distant island where no one will protest us, or just harness the magic that brings me into the brains of the living and use it to bring julie into mine, because it's warm in here, it's quiet and lovely, and in here we aren't an absurd juxtaposition, we are perfect.

I did four independent films during the break between 'twilight' and 'new moon.' i haven't even really had time to sit back and process it all. but when you do finally sit back and think about it, it's incredible.

For me, the best thing about cyberpunk is that it taught me how to enjoy shopping malls, which used to terrify me. now i just pretend that the whole thing is two miles below the moon’s surface, and that half the people’s right-brains have been eaten by roboticized steel rats. and suddenly it’s interesting again.

The wind? i am the wind. the sea and the moon? i am the sea and the moon. tears, pain, love, bird-flights? i am all of them. i dance what i am. sin, prayer, flight, the light that never was on land or sea? i dance what i am.
