• An actor must interpret life, and in order to do so must be willing to accept all the experiences life has to offer. In fact, he must seek out more of life than life puts at his feet. In the short span of his lifetime, an actor must learn all there is to know, experience all there is to experience, or approach that state as closely as possible. He must be superhuman in his efforts to store away in the core of his subconscious everything that he might be called upon to use in the expression of his art.

• I remember when I was very little my idol was Britney Spears. I had just come to California and that's just who I wanted to meet. So I was in a store and she walked in and my jaw just fell to the floor. I started like sweating. I could not believe that I was meeting her. She told me that I was very cute. And I lost it — I was so excited.

• To my mind there is nothing so beautiful or so provocative as a secondhand book store...To me it is astonishing and miraculous to think that any one of us can poke among the stalls for something to read overnight--and that this something may be the sum of a lifetime of sweat, tears, and genius that some poor, struggling, blessed fellow expended trying to teach us the truth.

I'm convinced they will never lose their place - Long may they rule.

• When we haven't the time to listen to each other's stories we seek out experts to tell us how to live. The less time we spend together at the kitchen table, the more how-to books appear in the stores and on our bookshelves. But reading such books is a very different thing than listening to someone' s lived experience. Because we have stopped listening to each other we may even have forgotten how to listen, stopped learning how to recognize meaning and fill ourselves from the ordinary events of our lives. We have become solitary; readers and watchers rather than sharers and participants.

• We are whirling through endless space with an inconceivable speed, all around us everything is spinning, everything is moving, everywhere is energy. There mart be some way of availing ourselves of this energy more directly. Then; with the light obtained from the medium, with the power derived from it, with every form of energy obtained without effort, from the store forever inexhaustible, humanity will advance with giant strides. The mere contemplation of these magnificent possibilities expand our minds, strengthens our hopes and and fills our hearts with supreme delight.

• You know a dream is like a river
  Ever changing as it flows.
  And a dreamer's just a vessel
  That must follow where it goes.
  Trying to learn from what's behind you
  And never knowing what's in store
  Makes each day a constant battle
  Just to stay between the shores.

  at a time, learn it well, and treasure it up, then learn another truth and
  treasure that up, and in a few years you will have a great store of useful
  knowledge.

• This is what life does. It lets you walk up to
  the store to buy breakfast and the paper, on a
  stiff knee. It lets you choose the way you have
  your eggs, your coffee. Then it sits a fisherman
  down beside you at the counter who says, Last night,
  the channel was full of starfish. And you wonder,
  is this a message, finally, or just another day?
