More From Charles De Gaulle

When you're working on a creative thing, everyone has an idea, and they're pushing it. the first time you work with anybody, you have to get comfortable with the way another person pushes hard for what they want. familiarity breeds contempt, people say. but i've found, for creative things, familiarity breeds peace of mind, because you realize you know someone better. you trust each other. you know not to take things a certain way, or a wrong way. you get to where you don't have to waste quite so much time with diplomacy. things are a little more efficient.

Aaron sorkin uses a lot of the same people again and again - the people he likes. i think if there's ever a part for me, he would consider me for it. i hope so. sometimes familiarity breeds contempt, other times it helps you. it's just amazing to work with his scripts. there's never any fat in them. it's all perfect, and there's such a rhythm to it. the musicality of his writing - it's so specific and unique to him, and such a joy to play as an actor, because there's no sentimentality.

But though every created thing is, in this sense, a mystery, the word mystery cannot be applied to moral truth, any more than obscurity can be applied to light. ... mystery is the antagonist of truth. it is a fog of human invention, that obscures truth, and represents it in distortion. truth never envelops itself in mystery, and the mystery in which it is at any time enveloped is the work of its antagonist, and never of itself.

Familiarity breeds contempt. by bringing them in close, they realize that you’re just as human as they are. that’s when the madness sets in. they can’t understand why you have more than they do when you’re just a regular human being the same as them. then they hate you for it. (leta)
Hate Madness Realizing
The answer is never the answer. what's really interesting is the mystery. if you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. i've never seen anybody really find the answer, but they think they have. so they stop thinking. but the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. the need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer.
