choices results changed
What we are living with is the result of human choices and it can be changed by making better, wiser choices.
art new-york years
I had just arrived in New York from California. I was nineteen years old and excited beyond belief. I was an art student and an acting student and behaved as most young actors did - meaning that there was no such thing as a good actor, 'cause you yourself hadn't shown up yet.
doors people next
Hollywood was not a place I dreamed of getting to. I never could take seriously the obsession people have about being a celebrity or getting to Hollywood - I was born next door.
acting attention pay-attention
A lot of what acting is is paying attention.
race expression car
For me, personally, skiing holds everything. I used to race cars, but skiing is a step beyond that. It removes the machinery and puts you one step closer to the elements. And it's a complete physical expression of freedom.
strong vision want
Have a strong vision about the story you want to tell and how you want to tell it.
independent thinking documentaries
I think independent filmmakers, documentary filmmakers - they are journalists.
kids thinking world
Storytelling was a way to see the world bigger than the one you were looking at, and that had great appeal for me. I think since that was part of my upbringing, it became part of me, and I wanted to pass it along to my kids and my grandkids.
moving thinking keep-moving
I don't think about when it's going to stop and what you do before it stops. You just keep moving.
fake-people i-am-what-i-am facelifts
I'm not a facelift person. I am what I am.
people development dominance
People are becoming more and more aware of how the dominance of development and business is altering their lives and, in particular, their own heritage.
film
The mainstream usually follows trends, it seldom sets them except for a few films.
taken successful thinking
When I became successful, I put up a caution. I didn't think it was fair to have the shadow of that kind of success thrown on my family. And I was cautious about being taken by things that could destroy you.
movie book night
I don't know what your childhood was like, but we didn't have much money. We'd go to a movie on a Saturday night, then on Wednesday night my parents would walk us over to the library. It was such a big deal, to go in and get my own book.
