Điều quan trọng là chúng ta phải cảm thấy ta đang trưởng thành (nếu ta thực sự đang trưởng thành mà không cảm nhận được điều ấy, thì cũng không thể thoả mãn được nhu cầu của bản thân). Hãy ghi lại 3 điều mà mình học được mỗi ngày

Yêu chính bản thân mình là bắt đầu cho cuộc sống lãng mạn

Việc đánh giá bản thân ở mức thích hợp là điều rất quan trọng, nó giúp ta hài lòng với cuộc sống của mình

Chỉ có phương pháp hoặc hành động là thất bại - đừng tự đánh giá thấp bản thân và dằn vặt quá mức

Khi so sánh mình với người khác, hãy nhìn vào sự "khác biệt" thay vì "khoảng cách"

Có thể nhìn nhận cả sở trường và sở đoản của bản thân, không phủ nhận những nhược điểm của mình, tìm cách phát huy hết phẩm chất con người mình là điều thật đáng quý

Đừng cố lấp liếm khuyết điểm, đôi khi chúng giúp chúng ta thực sự dễ dàng được mọi người chấp thuận

Những người cứng nhắc, hay bắt ép bản thân thường yếu đuối trước thất bại, luôn phủ định bản thân

Hãy quyết chiến với chính mình trong quá khứ!

Cảm thấy hạnh phúc với sự trưởng thành (từ vấp ngã) - còn quan trọng hơn thành tựu của đời người 

Con người có 3 loại nhu cầu: nhu cầu tồn tại, nhu cầu quan hệ và nhu cầu trưởng thành

There's a long history of anthropomorphic animals in Japanese literature. The so-called 'funny animal scrolls' were the first narratives in Japanese history, and the heroes of many folk tales have animals as their companions.

Just like going to the moon made us learn more about earth, achieving your goals will make you learn more about yourself and get fascinated.

This time all the historical details and things were right. But I'd written it again in third person, and people found it dry. I decided to throw that one away.

I just didn't lock into being in the right role in the right big movie and it going huge. I did never really make the leap to hyperspace. Who's to say that it can't still happen. I just enjoy working, and feel fortunate to be doing the things that I am doing.

Coaching helps you take stock of where you are now in all aspects of your life, and how that compares to where you would like to be.

You can make an idea spread for good but you can also make an idea spread for bad and the power to make an idea spread, memetics, you know which now people talk about memes.

There is always one person on the set who has a lot of anxiety, an actor who is really intense and has to stay in character and holds himself away from the rest of us.

I always wore the highest heels possible, because the other women on the show were tall.

The production team's first meeting took place at my house. I had ideas and a color scheme in mind, how I wanted the movie to look, because that has to be a real collaboration.

It's not a born-again thing; it was a peaceful, really, really cool moment where I just felt that I was no longer the dad anymore. I actually had become a son, and it makes things much easier from a day-to-day perspective.

When you realize youve made a mistake make amends immediately. Its easier to eat crow while its still warm.

American cinema tends to express a patriotic relationship to national identity on a regular basis.

A trade war would be a disaster for the world. It's very easy to slip into a trade war.

I go to the theater because I need help dealing with my life; I want to see the greatest questions addressed. I need to see actors grappling with things that matter.

When you move a border, suddenly life changes violently. I write about nationality.

In a household tragedy, you are very much aware of being alone. It is something that is possible to grasp, and that is why it hurts so much. Because you are alone. I know a little about this.

My main priority in any job is when is the soonest I can get back to the three people I love most in the world.

New York is a place that can grind you down and spit you out. A true New Yorker doesn't get ground down - he gets polished.

What I try to do - I mean 'try,' because you don't get there all the time - is to have impact with content. It's those moments in which you're trying to bring people beyond filmed theater. If I have an ambition, it's that.

I wish I was a bit shorter, as I think shorter people have better walks. Freddie Fox, the actor, is shorter than me and has an amazing gait; and Tom Cruise has a brilliant run. I'm just gangly.

I love sleeping in a moving car more than sleeping in bed.

Ah, the patter of little feet around the house. There's nothing like having a midget for a butler.

All of a sudden their husband's dead and maybe a child is dead and they have absolutely nothing - and they're heading through the desert at night.

Violent crime is a solved problem - all they have to do is repeal the laws that keep those intelligent, capable, and responsible men and women from arming themselves, and violent crime evaporates like dry ice on a hot summer day.
