Never
(page 20)
You will learn more from your failures than your successes — so embrace those mistakes, as difficult as that sounds, and grow from them. When a project is successful, you're never really sure why, because so many elements come into play. However, when you fail, you always know why. That is how you learn and grow.
Being a caretaker is, and never will be, an easy job; in fact, it is that hardest job in the world and many times a thankless job. You have to be the pillar of strength even when you feel like you are crumbling to pieces inside.
We're never so vulnerable than when we trust someone — but paradoxically, if we cannot trust, neither can we find love or joy.
Today is your own. Tomorrow perchance may never come.
Forgive your enemies, but never forget their names.
A champion owes everybody something. He can never pay back for all the help he got, for making him an idol.
I'm bipolar, but I'm not crazy, and I never was. I'm stark raving sane.
My attitude is never to be satisfied, never enough, never.
When I spend money on myself, it's almost always on shoes and clothes. I'm addicted to shoes. I always have been, since I was a kid. When I was young, I could never get the shoes I really wanted.
Learning never exhausts the mind.
I never said I wanted a 'happy' life but an interesting one. From separation and loss, I have learned a lot. I have become strong and resilient, as is the case of almost every human being exposed to life and to the world. We don't even know how strong we are until we are forced to bring that hidden strength forward.
The only man who never makes a mistake is the man who never does anything.
Money was never a big motivation for me, except as a way to keep score. The real excitement is playing the game.
Silence is a true friend who never betrays.
None of us are immune to grief, and everyone who has suffered loss understands that grief changes, but you never wake up one morning and you've moved on. It stays with you, and, you know, you ebb and flow.
Grief changes shape, but it never ends.
If you give up at the first rejection or the first bad review, you will never make it in publishing.
When I was a kid, there was no collaboration; it's you with a camera bossing your friends around. But as an adult, filmmaking is all about appreciating the talents of the people you surround yourself with and knowing you could never have made any of these films by yourself.
You can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something — your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same.
