More From Matthew Gray Gubler

People really don't like to hear success explained away as luck — especially successful people. as they age, and succeed, people feel their success was somehow inevitable. they don't want to acknowledge the role played by accident in their lives. there is a reason for this: the world does not want to acknowledge it either. if you use better data, you can find better values; there are always market inefficiencies to exploit, and so on. but it has a broader and less practical message: don't be deceived by life's outcomes. life's outcomes, while not entirely random, have a huge amount of luck baked into them. above all, recognize that if you have had success, you have also had luck — and with luck comes obligation.

I’ve never agreed with the conventional wisdom that ‘actors are great liars.’ if more people understood the acting process, the goals of good actors, the conventional wisdom would be ‘actors are terrible liars,’ because only bad actors lie on the job. the good ones hate fakery and avoid manufactured emotion at all costs. any script is enough of a lie anyway. (what experience does any actor have with flying a spacecraft? killing someone?) what’s called for, what actors are hired for, is to bring reality to the arbitrary.

There's no such thing as advice to the lovelorn. if they took advice, they wouldn't be lovelorn. you see, advice and lovelorn don't go together. because advice makes love sound like some sort of cognitive activity, but we know that it isn't. we all know that it's some sort of horrible chemical reaction over which we have absolutely no control. and that's why advice doesn't work.
Advice Making Love Together
O, this faith is a living, busy, active, powerful thing! it is impossible that it should not be ceaselessly doing that which is good. it does not even ask whether good works should be done; but before the question can be asked, it has done them, and it is constantly engaged in doing them. but he who does not do such works, is a man without faith. he gropes and casts about him to find faith and good works, not knowing what either of them is, and yet prattles and idly multiplies words about faith and good works.

Timing is so important! if you are going to be successful in dance, you must be able to respond to rhythm and timing. it's the same in the spirit. people who don't understand god's timing can become spiritually spastic, trying to make the right things happen at the wrong time. they don't get his rhythm - and everyone can tell they are out of step. they birth things prematurely, threatening the very lives of their god-given dreams.

We have our dreams because without them we could not bear the truth.

Horses (thou say'st) and asses men may try, and ring suspected vessels ere they buy; but wives, a random choice, untried they take; they dream in courtship, but in wedlock wake; then, nor till then, the veil's removed away, and all the woman glares in open day.
