And none of it matters, because the only thing that really exists is the connection the audience has with a movie. Sometimes that's a palpable thing, but other times it's not. No actor has control of that. All you can control is your own passion for doing the work in the first place.

I think, for the rest of my life, I shall refrain from looking up things. It is the most ravenous time-snatcher I know.

It is incredible, the number of books you hopefully open and disappointedly close, only to take down another with the same result.

I think He intends to try you like gold in the crucible, so as to number you amongst His most faithful servants. Therefore you must lovingly embrace all occasions of suffering, considering them as precious tokens of His love. To suffer in silence and without complaint is what He asks of you.
