"Good friends find pleasure in one another's company. Let us know pleasure in the company of our best Friend, a Friend who can do everything for us, a friend who loves us beyond measure. Here in the Blessed Sacrament we can talk to him straight from the heart. We can open our souls to him, tell him what we need, beg him for powerful graces. We are perfectly free to approach the King of the universe with full confidence and without fear."

“When I first started working on movies as a production assistant, we were shooting 65, 75, 85 days. I mean, granted some of those things were "Godzilla," "Deep Impact," and those kinds of things, but these days it's like 30-35 days or 40-45 days and you just feel like you're humping trying to get everything done. It's like "Move on, move on, move on!" That's not the way to get the best performances or the most interesting shots. You have to constantly balance schedule and quality of work. For me, that's the biggest thing.”
“I don't think people really do listen. We plug into music, and we have short attention spans. We tend to download individual tracks from iTunes rather than a whole album.

“I'm not saying I am never going to fall in love again, but there is no need to marry.”
“The difference in the education of men and women must give the former great advantages over the latter, even where geniuses are equal.”
“We fear discovering that we are more than we think we are. More than our parents/children/teachers think we are. We fear that we actually possess the talent that our still, small voice tells us. That we actually have the guts, the perseverance, the capacity. We fear that we truly can steer our ship, plant our flag, reach our Promised Land. We fear this because, if itâ€™s true, then we become estranged from all we know. We pass through a membrane. We become monsters and monstrous.”

“The ladder of success is best climbed by stepping on the rungs of opportunity.”
“Itâ€™s never an insult to be called what somebody thinks is a bad name. It just shows you how poor that person is, it doesnâ€™t hurt you.”
“As long as we wish for safety, we will have difficulty pursuing what matters.”
