“Acting in general you just feel kind of stupid doing it anyway, but when you're pretending to be rolling around and dodging a foot or riding an ant, you're having to really do it seriously and there's nothing there. You've got to put faith in the process.” FeelsKindProcessActingFeetStupidPretendingRidingRollingAnts Author:Paul Rudd
“I was stupid when I was 17 or 18. My thought process was that I thought that I was legitimately a hyper-genius, and so I wanted to go to the hardest academic school I could to see if I was really as smart as I thought I was.” IfsWantedSchoolProcessStupidGeniusSmartHardestAcademicMy ThoughtsHyperThought ProcessI Was Stupid Author:Tucker Max
“One of the great things about a free market is that it's inherently and indefatigably Darwinistic. Left to its own devices, a free market will eventually weed out the stupid from both 'ends' of the food chain otherwise described as supply and demand. As money is liberated from the hands of the stupid, those who would sell products or services to the stupid will eventually lose their share of the marketplace. Devoid of any 'benevolent' interference from government, the process is gloriously relentless, and cannot help but yield a successively smarter class of participants.” EndsHelpingHandsGovernmentLeftProcessLosesClassShareStupidProductsDemandSellsGreat ThingsChainsDevicesYieldWeedSmarterFree MarketMarketplaceRelentlessLiberatedInterferenceParticipantsBenevolentFood ChainSupply And Demand Author:Edward Britton
“There's not like a science to it, necessarily, but I'm also the kind of person who spends a long time in the studio. I will spend my entire advance just getting it done, which is probably stupid, but I don't have extravagant taste. I mean, I paid for it, so there you go. Why not?

“In the creative process, my ego has always been a huge tyrant ... a dictator and kind of rude and very misleading, because sometimes when I'm doing something, I say, "This is great! This is fantastic! Very genius!" And 20 minutes later, I feel like a dead jellyfish. "You are a stupid a**hole. This is a piece of sh*t.

“It's an ongoing process, in the script, on the set and in the editing room, to make sure you are being true to the emotion of the film without turning it into a melodrama, and making sure you're getting all the laughs you can without it turning into just some stupid comedy.” FilmProcessRoomsEmotionLaughingComedyStupidScriptsBeing TrueEditingOngoingMelodrama Author:Jon Turteltaub
“I am definitely less and less interested in music made by people that exist today, people that are living.

“I think with the advent of Reagan, and subsequently, both parties, there's been a strong move towards the advantage given to the richer people, in taxation and grants and supplements and things of that kind. Primarily exacerbated more recently by the Supreme Court's stupid ruling on Citizens United, and now there's a massive flood of money into the political system that I think has subverted the essence of a moral and ethical standard that used to permeate American democracy. Now it's not an admirable process.
