I think the one thing this picture shows that's new is the psychological disproportion of the kids' demands on the parents. Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

The only greatness for man is immortality.

But you can't show some far off idyllic conception of behavior if you want the kids to come and see the picture. You've got to show what it's really like, and try to reach them on their own grounds.

I want to be a Texan 24 hours a day.

Studying cows, pigs and chickens can help an actor develop his character. There are a lot of things I learned from animals. One was that they couldn't hiss or boo me.

The gratification comes in the doing, not in the results.

I also became close to nature, and am now able to appreciate the beauty with which this world is endowed.

When an actor plays a scene exactly the way a director orders, it isn't acting. It's following instructions. Anyone with the physical qualifications can do that.

To grasp the full significance of life is the actor's duty; to interpret it his problem; and to express it his dedication.

Being a good actor isn't easy. Being a man is even harder. I want to be both before I'm done.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death, if he can live on after he's dead, then maybe he was a great man.

There is no way to be truly great in this world. We are all impaled on the crook of conditioning.

Trust and belief are two prime considerations. You must not allow yourself to be opinionated.

Being an actor is the loneliest thing in the world. You are all alone with your concentration and imagination, and that's all you have.

Only the gentle are ever really strong.

To me, acting is the most logical way for people's neuroses to manifest themselves, in this great need we all have to express ourselves.

To my way of thinking, an actor's course is set even before he's out of the cradle.

Dream as if you'll live forever. Live as if you'll die today.

An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet.

An actor should be judged by his performance only.

Death can't be considered because, if you're afraid to die, there's no room in your life to make discoveries.

I don't want anything seventy-thirty. Fifty-fifty's always good enough for me. I don't want to have to give anybody seventy; I don't want anybody to give me seventy. I want fifty.

I used to fly around quite a bit, you know? I took a lot of unnecessary chances on the highways. And I started racing, and now I drive on the highways, I'm extra cautious because no one knows what they're doing half the time. You don't know what this guy is going to do or that one.

My purpose in life does not include a hankering to charm society.

Racing is the only time I feel whole.

The only way to make a scene realistic is to do it the way you know it would really happen.

You try to be yourself, do only what you've always done and like to do, and right away, you're tagged as an oddball.

An actor's course is set even before he's out of the cradle.

Dream as if youll live forever live as if youll die today.

If a man can bridge the gap between life and death if he can live on after hes dead then maybe he was a great man.

Dream as if youll live forever. Live as if youll die today.

Dream as if you'll live forever, live as if you'll die today.

But, after all, we are a young nation, and vanity is a fault of youth.

That's one of our biggest problems, it's always somebody else's fault instead of our own fault.

It's my fault in many cases because I don't initiate the contact to talk with a lot of other musicians.

We don't suggest that because San Francisco lies on top of an earthquake fault that it should be moved.

I think in the wake of Katrina, the Coast Guard may well have been the only entity or agency that came out of that exercise free of fault and free of blame.

Be calm in arguing; for fierceness makes error a fault, and truth discourtesy.

Correct one fault at a time. Concentrate on the one fault you want to overcome.

A woman should say: "Have I made him happy? Is he satisfied? Does he love me more than he loved me before? Is he likely to go to bed with another woman?" If he does, then it's the wife's fault because she is not trying to make him happy.

Nothing would be done at all if one waited until one could do it so well that no one could find fault with it.

The basic fault lines today are not between people with different beliefs but between people who hold these beliefs with an element of uncertainty and people who hold these beliefs with a pretense of certitude.

I think the one thing this picture shows that's new is the psychological disproportion of the kids' demands on the parents. Parents are often at fault, but the kids have some work to do, too.

The absent are never without fault. Nor the present without excuse.

There's man all over for you, blaming on his boots the fault of his feet.

It may be true, that men, who are mere mathematicians, have certain specific shortcomings, but that is not the fault of mathematics, for it is equally true of every other exclusive occupation.

It just broke my heart, and I had to get away from it. I love them to death, but they know how bad it got. It's not their fault, but I couldn't do that any longer.

If you become addicted and a junkie, well, that's your fault.
