- From
a very early age, I remember thinking
that adults
were always acting
like assholes. I couldn't understand
why I had to respect
them. My pre-school teacher
forced me to write right-handed when I was
left-handed. I didn't get why I had to change.
Nobody could give me a reason.
I have had a big problem
with authority
ever since.
Jessica
Alba Quotes
- Flesh
and meat are life!
If I paint
red meat as I paint bodies it is just because
I find it very beautiful.
I don’t think
anyone has ever really understood
that. Ham, pigs, tongues, sides of beef
seen in the butcher’s window, all that
death,
I find it very beautiful. And it’s
all for sale—how unbelievably surrealistic!
Francis
Bacon Quotes
- When
you're young
you believe
it when people
tell you how good
you are. And that's the danger, you inhale.
Everyone will tell you you're a genius,
which you are not, and if you understand
that, you win.
George
Clooney Quotes
- Directors
are the captains of the ship, and it's your
job
as the lead
actor to make sure that the rest of
the cast understand
that by doing whatever he says.
George
Clooney Quotes
- I
don't want people to go through what I
went through. I want kids to have the
ability to read, to write,
to understand
what people are saying to them, to be able
to solve life's
problems.
Tom
Cruise Quotes
- I’ve
been in the business
since I was 16, so I’ve had a 14-year
career.
I’ve always had acting
in
my blood. Doing this, whatever it is,
was something I was drawn to since my earliest
memories. Ironically, I lived
in Hollywood,
but never understood
that all it took was getting an agent and
being persistent.
Leonardo
DiCaprio Quotes
- The
challenge
is to understand
the psyche of somebody like that. There
is no true genius
or revolutionary ideas,
I don’t think, without some element
of compulsiveness or madness
or obsession, and that’s certainly
indicative of Howard Hughes. Understanding
his obsessive-compulsive disorder was really
the key for me for opening up who this man
was.
Leonardo
DiCaprio Quotes
- If
one is master of one thing and understands
one thing well, one has at the same time,
insight into and understanding of many things.
Vincent
van Gogh Quotes
- I
thought I'd become a funeral director when
I wasn't going to be an actor..
I thought
I would be good
at helping
some people
with the grieving process and with trying
to get them to talk about and understand
who this person was.
Angelina
Jolie Quotes
- Becoming
a mother
has grounded me and made me understand
love
and life
in a very different
and real
way.
Angelina
Jolie Quotes
- I
have two lovers who I've been meeting in
hotels for two years now and it's now difficult
for me to do, but it did take a couple of
days to broke an understanding
of the nature
of this sort of relationship
before we slept
together.
Angelina
Jolie Quotes
- I
just feel
like I'm Mad's mum
and I happen to have a good
job
as an actor
and I feel grateful for that. Mad fits into
my schedule;
I take him everywhere. I want him to understand
and be open to different
cultures.
Angelina
Jolie Quotes
- I
mean, everyone has to calm down sometime.
I’ll still smoke
up and party, but yeah, eventually you
gotta settle down and be an adult. But still
have fun.
Demi’s
helped
me sort of like, understand
that down the road it’ll just happen.
Ashton
Kutcher
- .
. I have always sought to be understood
and, while I was taken to task by critics
or colleagues, I thought they were right,
assuming I had not been clear enough to
be understood. This assumption allowed me
to work
my whole life
without hatred and even without bitterness
toward criticism, regardless of its source.
I counted solely on the clarity of expression
of my work to gain my ends. Hatred, rancor,
and the spirit of vengeance are useless
baggage to the artist.
His road is difficult enough for him to
cleanse his soul of everything which could
make it more so.
Henri
Matisse Quotes
- You
just have to do as best
you can, give it your best shot, really.
I'm a nice
person, you know? You just have to investigate
that...You have to commit
to the part, you have to commit fundamentally
100 percent to it and you can't apply your
moral framework onto this character
and you have to understand
the mechanisms and engine of this man to
play it.
Cillian
Murphy Quotes
- You
don't have to identify with a character
to play them, you just have to understand.
There's a difference,
I think,
between identifying with and understanding?
Cillian
Murphy Quotes
- I
spent a lot of time
with transsexuals and transvestites- I went
out clubbing with them in London
as the character. And of course, there’s
a lot of grooming involved. Hats off the
ladies- I understand
it’s not
an easy job
being a
lady. A lot of plucking and shaving
and that sort of thing. It was wonderful-
it was one of those transformative roles.
For an actor,
they’re the ones that you look forward
to the most.
Cillian
Murphy Quotes
- Everyone
wants to understand
art.
Why don’t we try to understand the
song of a bird? Why do we love
the night, the flowers,
everything around us, without trying to
understand them? But in the case of a painting,
people
think
they have to understand.
Pablo
Picasso Quotes
- The
progression
of a painter's
work
as it travels
in time
from point to point, will be toward clarity..
toward the elimination of all obstacles
between the painter and the idea..
and the idea and the observer.. To achieve
this clarity is inevitably to be understood.
Mark
Rothko Quotes
- You're
dealing with millions of people
everyday, and it's very easy for something
to be misinterpreted,
so my intention is always, regardless of
what the show
is --whether it's about sibling rivalry
or wife
battering or children
of divorce
-- for people to see within each show that
you are responsible
for your life,
that although there may be tragedy in your
life, there's always a possibility to triumph.
Oprah
Winfrey Quotes
- I
truly understand
that there is a lesson
in everything that happens to us. So I tried
not to spend my time
asking
"Why did this happen to me?" but
trying to figure out why I had chosen
this. That's the answer
you need. It's always a question of accepting
responsibility
for your choices. Anytime you look outside
yourself
for answers, you're looking in the wrong
place.

Winfrey Quotes
