Before you criticize a man, walk a mile in his shoes. That way, when you do criticize him, you'll be a mile away and have his shoes.
Through the years, I have learned there is no harm in charging oneself up with delusions between moments of valid inspiration.
Be so good they can't ignore you.
I like what a third man brings. A kind of oblique vision, seeing something in the material that you didn't know was there. As a comedian, I'm always listening to the audience. And in movies, sometimes the only audience you have is the producer and the director. I like having someone else's opinion, especially if you're on the same wavelength.
Some people have a way with words, and other people...oh, uh, not have way.
I thought yesterday was the first day of the rest of my life but it turns out today is.
