"Deciding what to read is also a matter of filtering."

-- Jean-Claude Carriere

“Let us pray for all good and faithful priests who dedicate themselves to their people with generosity and unknown sacrifices.”
“Let us plant dates even though those who plant them will never eat them. We must live by the love of what we will never see.”
“I like my wine like my women - ready to pass out.”
“It's got to do with putting yourself in other people's shoes and seeing how far you can come to truly understand them. I like the empathy that comes from acting.”
“To make decisions while infuriated is as unwise and foolish as it is for a captain to put out to sea in a raging storm.”
“We won the lottery in life and life is such a beautiful, precious gift, and we have to savor it, because as far as we know, we are the only living things in the universe, so it is our duty to protect it.”
“I was never NOT confident about doing scenes without my shirt - and now I'll find any excuse to take my shirt off!”
“I hate violence, and I didn't plan to write horror; it just poured out of me.”
