“If one thing that bothers me about acting, it's that there's no clear-cut number one.

“Men whose only concern is other people's opinion of them are like actors who put on a poor performance to win the applause of people of poor taste; some of them would be capable of good acting in front of a good audience. A decent man plays his part to the best of his ability, regardless of the taste of the gallery.” PeopleMenPlayWould BeActorsWinningAbilityPoorActingOpinionAudienceFrontsTasteCapableConcernPerformancesDecentApplauseGalleryDecent ManGood ActingPoor PerformancePoor Taste Book:Chamfort: Reflections on Life, Love & Society : Together with Anecdotes and Little Philosophical Dialogues Source: Chamfort: Reflections on Life, Love & Society : Together with Anecdotes and Little Philosophical Dialogues
“If we think that we can secure our country by just talking tough without acting tough and smart, then we will misunderstand this moment and miss its opportunities. If we think that we can use the same partisan playbook where we just challenge our opponent's patriotism to win an election, then the American people will lose.

But that's all it usually is for me. I love touring and singing great songs. I don't think I'll ever win a Grammy one day, and I'm totally fine with that.

“This means that if a person fulfills his or her vocation as a steelmaker, attorney, or homemaker coram Deo, then that person is acting every bit as religiously as a soul-winning evangelist who fulfills his vocation. It means that David was as religious when he obeyed God’s call to be a shepherd as he was when he was anointed with the special grace of kingship. It means that Jesus was every bit as religious when He worked in His father’s carpenter shop as He was in the Garden of Gethsemane.” IfsMeanPersonsSoulFatherJesusWinningBitsReligiousActingGraceSpecialGardenShopsVocationAttorneyShepherdsCarpenterEvangelistsHomemakerGethsemaneKingshipSoul Winning Author:R.

“We need to start acting like a team, focus on winning and not worry about all of the other stuff that goes on. We lost our focus last year. We worried about who was being hired, who was being fired.

“I just think it's really funny and entertaining. I mean, I don't necessarily take them really seriously - I don't even think a lot of really good films get seen. But I don't think that's what it's about. I mean, how amazing was Ellen Burstyn in Requiem For A Dream ? Especially as she was acting with herself most of the time. I don't understand how a performance like that can't win. I was so affected by that movie that I had to turn it off.
