It is one thing for the human mind to extract from the phenomena of nature the laws which it has itself put into them; it may be a far harder thing to extract laws over which it has no control. it is even possible that laws which have not their origin in the mind may be irrational, and we can never succeed in formulating them.

I can criticize your religion all i want, and you can criticize mine. i don't like this whole climate of, 'you can't ever say anything bad about the group i'm in, cause every group is untouchable.' we can all criticize each other and engage in debate all we want.

Will i criticize hillary clinton on her position of tpp, or the lack of position? will i criticize her on her views of wall street? will i criticize her on foreign policy? that's what democracy is about, but taking cheap shots at people, making it personal, i don't think that's what politics should be about.

Your job, as an actor, is never to just do what you're told. that's boring, and life is too short. it's your job to bring something, and it will either be to other people's taste or your own taste, and you have to try things out. actors say, "well, as long as the director's happy," but i don't believe that and i don't agree with that. i want the director to be happy, but if i'm not happy, i won't sleep at night.
Jobs Believe Life Is Too Short
I've always believed that it's important to show a new look periodically. predictability can lead to failure.
