“I'm drawn to the classic antihero, the guy who's probably made a bunch of mistakes and really has the capacity to go either way. That's the most interesting type of character for me to watch, to see what decisions they'll make. There's a lot of gray area there for a writer to explore.” WayMadeCharacterGuyDecisionInterestingMistakeWatchesTypeAreasCapacityBunchClassicGrayMost InterestingGray AreaAntiheroes Author:Kurt Sutter
“Tonight, I should watch the sun set, and think of the impending darkness as a metaphor for my wasted life: once it was bright, and full of potential, and now it is dark and hopeless and bleak. I should not make the mistake of thinking that the moon and the stars represent slim glimmers of hope, or evidence that there is light on the other side. Even if there is light somewhere I will never walk in it again.” IfsThinkingShouldLightStarsSidesDarkWalksMistakeWatchesDarknessSunMoonEvidenceMetaphorTonightHopelessBleakSlimWasted LifeSun Set Author:John S.

“My mother taught me this trick: if you repeat something over and over again it loses its meaning, for example homework homework homework homework homework homework homework homework homework, see? Nothing. Our existence she said is the same way. You watch the sunset too often it just becomes 6 pm you make the same mistake over and over you stop calling it a mistake.

“I am always surprised when I watch the weather report on German television. First they show the map of Europe and then the camera moves to the right. Then comes Kiev, then Moscow and then everything stops. This seems to be the West's view of us - of a wild Russia that begins past Moscow, a place one prefers not to see. This is a big mistake. The West must pay closer attention.” FirstsShowsBigsSeemsPastMovingViewsPayAttentionMistakeWatchesTelevisionEuropeCamerasWestRussiaWeatherReportsMapsMoscowBig MistakeKiev Author:Vladimir Sorokin
“Too many people are apt to redeem their profits too quickly. In a huge bull market they wind up with piddling profits, only to watch their former holdings soar.

“My audience is comprised of three categories. The first category contains the people who decide after the first five minutes that they've made a mistake and leave. The second category is the people who give the film a chance and leave annoyed after 40 minutes. The third category includes the people that watch the whole film and return to see it again. If I'm able to persuade 33% of the audience to stay, then I can say that I've succeeded.” PeopleIfsGivingFirstsMadeI CanWholeAbleFilmThreeChanceMistakeWatchesAudienceFiveMinutesReturnThirdsCategoriesFive MinutesAnnoyedMade A Mistake Author:Peter Greenaway
