“That's a big responsibility, and the details obsess me. And, also, I no longer feel I have to do the Tonight Show every time I open my mouth. Twenty years ago, I told myself I'd rather direct than act, and it's taken me this long. You lose your passion in acting. You make too many mistakes. Maybe that's why I make so many movies; if you don't like this one, another one's opening on Tuesday. But then I spent six months of my life on 'At Long Last Love,' a picture nobody saw. I enjoyed making it, I learned from it, I grew, but that's too much time out of my life.” IfsFeelsYearsLongShowsBigsLastsPassionLosesActingMistakeResponsibilityTakenSawsToo MuchGrewMonthsSixMouthsYears AgoDirectTwentiesDetailsOpeningEnjoyedTonightSix MonthsTuesdayBig Responsibility Author:Burt Reynolds
“I don't think too much about the past when I am actually playing, I prefer to concentrate on the present. The performance of a piece, no matter how long ago or where it was written, is always a new production, something that comes alive in the present.

“I learned about forty years ago that money and things wouldn't make people happy. And this has been confirmed many times. I have met many millionaires. They had one thing in common.

It is those who have enough but not too much who are the happiest.” PeopleIfsYearsHas BeensEnoughRealizingCommonToo MuchOne ThingMetsYears AgoFortyMillionaireMaking People Happy Author:Peace Pilgrim
“I grew my mustache when I was nineteen in order to look older. I never shaved it off even though it overran its usefulness many, many years ago.

“Years ago, it was easier to make new things than it is now. The weight of experience weighs heavily, and the expectations; everybody wants to see something they haven't seen before.

“A very special case. A few years more, and that pretty creature who you love too much, I think, will, without ever loving them, have known as many men as there are beads on her aunt's rosary. No happy medium! Either a nun or a monster! God's bosom or sensual passions! It would, perhaps, be better to put her in a convent, since we put hysterical women in the Saltpetriere! She does not know vice, she invents it!" That was ten years ago before the day our story begins and...

“Curran and Kate stood by the door. "I can't believe you decided to come down here and check on me," she said.
