Ja som pánom svojho osudu, ja som kapitánom svojej duše.

Každý človek raz zomrie, no nie každý skutočne žije.

Sprav to alebo to nesprav. Neexistuje žiadne skúsim.

Sme tým, kým sme sa rozhodli byť.

Život nie je o počte nádychov, ale o chvíľach, ktoré Vám berú dych.

Nedovoľ, aby ti niekto dal pocítiť, že si nezaslúžiš to, čo chceš.

Nie sú to naše schopnosti, ktoré ukážu kým v skutočnosti sme… ale naše rozhodnutia.

Ak by sa ľudia pozreli do zrkadla, zbadali by osobu, ktorá je zodpovedná za naplnenie väčšiny ich modlitieb.

Nedovoľ, aby ti niekto hovoril, že niečo nedokážeš, dokonca ani ja. Rozumieš?! Ak máš sen, musíš ho ochraňovať. Ľudia niečo nevedia spraviť sami, a tak ti budú rozprávať, že to nedokážeš tiež. Ak niečo chceš, choď a vezmi si to. Bodka.

Spoznávať svet i nebezpečie, ktoré prinesie, prekonávať hranice, zbližovať sa, spoznávať druhých a cítiť. TO JE ZMYSLOM ŽIVOTA.

Nemôžeš žiť svoj život pre potešenie ostatných. Rozhodovať by si sa mal podľa seba.

Všetko, čo musíme urobiť je rozhodnúť sa, ako naložíme s časom, ktorý nám bol daný.

To čo robíš práve teraz je to, na čom záleží.

Naše životy sú formované príležitosťami, dokonca aj tými, ktoré zmeškáme.

Úžasní ľudia sa nerodia úžasnými. Stanú sa nimi.

Ja stále verím v raj. Teraz ale viem, že to nie je nejaké miesto, ktoré môžete hľadať, pretože sa nenachádza tam kam smerujete. Je to o tom, ako sa cítite v daný okamih vo Vašom živote, keď ste niečoho súčasťou a keď zistíte, že to trvá večne.

Až keď nájdeš mier vo svojom vnútri, až vtedy objavíš skutočné spojenie s ostatnými.

Viem čo musím urobiť teraz. Musím aj naďalej zhlboka dýchať, pretože zajtra opäť vyjde slnko. Kto vie čo môže príliv priniesť?

Život je príliš rýchly. Ak sa nezastavíš a nepoobzeráš okolo seba aspoň raz za čas, mohol by ti ujsť.

Ty nie si tvoja práca. Nie si ani tvoje bankové konto. Nie si auto, ktoré šoféruješ a tiež nie si obsah tvojej peňaženky.

Odvaha nie je neprítomnosť strachu, ale skôr úsudok, že je niečo dôležitejšie ako samotný strach. Statoční nemôžu žiť večne, ale opatrní nežijú vôbec.

The natural term of the affection of the human animal for its offspring is six years.

So much of performing is a mind game.

If little else, the brain is an educational toy.

An actor is supposed to be a sensitive instrument. Isaac Stern takes good care of his violin. What if everybody jumped on his violin?

The Europe we are in the process of building is the Europe of the 21st century; it's not the Europe of the 20th century.

You're never going to kill storytelling, because it's built into the human plan. We come with it.

Choreography is amazing. I'm still a dancer, yet I transitioned into choreography then as a Creative Director. All of these creative elements are brought out of being a dancer. Directing is something that comes out of understanding movement and choreography. Directing movement is directing a dance piece.

The tension between what is, and what we dream of, is important. Not to discount what we have, but to hold onto that middle ground, because it's in there that the magic happens.

I've been a Christian for a long time, and I think that Christianity gets a bad rap. I think that people's perception of what a Christian is today is something that is close-minded and narrow, and that's not what I am.

If the impulse to daring and bravery is too fierce and violent stay it with guidance and instruction.

Servility always curdles into rage in the end.

I'm more of a homebody type. I don't want to look like I want to be in the public eye. I didn't become an actress to be famous.

All good art is seditious, but the people in authority can never recognise it. I think when you mention sedition, artists are the ones whose eyes light up thinking, 'Oh, yes, I want some of that!'

I do like directing other people's material.

It does not matter how slowly you go as long as you do not stop

I was always the guy getting kicked out of my classes at school for having an attitude problem.

You've got to guard against speaking more clearly than you think.

The end of coal in Appalachia doesn't mean that America is running out of coal (there's plenty left in Wyoming). But it should end the fantasy that coal can be an engine of job creation - the big open pit mines in Wyoming employ a tiny fraction of the number of people in an underground mine in Appalachia.

I would like people to know me for who I am, especially since I think people have a very skewed image of me. I was playing a lot of cute characters, a lot of little girls; I was objectified. And I don't want people to think of me as that because it's not who I am, and because I've seen a lot of hostility towards that image.

We have grown up in an age where there is nothing that cannot now, courtesy of computer-generated imagery, be convincingly rendered in the visual field.

Bullying doesn't solve anything. Love does. Learning what love is will be the first step in turning all of this around.

I want to give the audience the whole package, and for me, the whole package is to give them something fresh as well. It's not as much fun resting on your laurels.

'Close Encounters of the Third Kind' ends with the spaceship lands and Richard Dreyfuss' character best on, but a bunch of pilots and sailors from the 1940s get off. You kind of wanted to know what happened next.

I bring up 'The Heist,' and you can almost cut that record down the middle between songs where the beat came first and the words came second, and songs where the words came first and the beat came second. It can start with a vibe, a beat that drives a story, or it can start with a story and then trying to identify the tone to tell that story right.
