“Why should your heart not dance?”
“Grief is like a bomber circling round and dropping its bombs each time the circle brings it overhead; physical pain is like the steady barrage on a trench in World War One, hours if it with no let-up for a moment. Thought is never static pain often is... is it not yet enough?”
“Nobody who gets enough food and clothing in a world where most are hungry and cold has any business to talk about 'misery.'”
More on Responsibility
“We are each responsible for our own life-no other person can be.”
“Let not him who is houseless pull down the house of another, but let him work diligently and build one for himself, thus by example assuring that his own shall be safe from violence when built.”
“I believe it to be perfectly possible for an individual to adopt the way of life of the future. . . without having to wait for others to do so.”
More on Privilege
“I've been a prima-dona. I was taken care of since I was 13. That's why I am the way I am today. I was spoiled, like a brat. I had anything I wanted. That's crazy to be that way all your life. Everybody's taking care of you, but manipulating you at the same time. Very few people have a life like that. Most people have to work like slaves their whole lives. I've never had a job in my life. What I know how to do is hurt big, tough men - in the street and off.”
“To those whom much is given, much is expected.”
“I've always seen it to be a privilege to make movies. It's a really expensive, creative medium.”
