Technology is a compulsive and addictive way to live. verbal communication cannot be lost because of a lack of skill. the ability to listen and learn is key to mastering the art of communication. if you dont use your verbal skills and networking, it will disappear rapidly. use technology wisely.

Your freedom as a writer is not freedom of expression in the sense of wild blurting; you may not let rip. it is life at its most free, if you are fortunate enough to be able to try it, because you select your materials, invent your task, and pace yourself.

There were really funny characteristics about this guy [richard nixon], chief of which would be that he seemed to devote about 85 percent of his waking energy to suppressing any sign of his emotional response to anything that was going on around him, and the other 15 percent blurting out those authentic responses in the silliest and most inopportune ways. and he had these smiles that would come at the most inappropriate times - just flashes that there was an inner life screaming to get out.

All great contemporary artists, schooled or not, are essentially self-taught and are de-skilling like crazy. i don't look for skill in art... skill has nothing to do with technical proficiency... i'm interested in people who rethink skill, who redefine or reimagine it: an engineer, say, who builds rockets from rocks.

You don’t have to know a lot of things for your life to make a lasting difference in the world. but you do have to know the few great things that matter, perhaps just one, and then be willing to live for them and die for them. the people that make a durable difference in the world are not the people who have mastered many things, but who have been mastered by one great thing.

Acting is so difficult for me that, unless the work is of a certain stature in my mind, unless i reach the expectations i have of myself, i'm unhappy. then it's a miserable existence. i'm putting a piece of myself out there. if it doesn't do anything, i feel so ashamed. i'm afraid i'll be the kind of actor who thought he would make a difference and didn't. right now, though, i feel like i made a little bit of difference.
