| As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. (John Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| No matter how old you get, if you can keep the desire to be creative, you're keeping the man-child alive. (John Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. (John Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| The most difficult thing in the world is to reveal yourself, to express what you have to. As an artist, I feel that we must try many things - but above all we must dare to fail. You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all. (John Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| You must be willing to risk everything to really express it all. (John Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| My daughter, when she was a week old, was diagnosed with congenital heart disease. For the past thirteen years, she's had four major heart surgeries. She's a candidate for - and must have - heart replacement surgery in order to have a long life. (Nick Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| My Mom and Dad did it pretty good, so I know it can work. The foremost thing I would say about working with Robin and Sean is that they were devoted to this project and devoted to their characters. You can't ask for any more from talented actors like that. (Nick Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| We do have a problem in this country. You can either make a movie and ignore that, or you can acknowledge it and say, this is the water that we're living in. You know this - the movie lives in this - it's centered around this particular problem, and I chose to acknowledge it. (Nick Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| Well, I think that people are smart enough to understand the difference between a movie and real life. (Nick Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| You just go in and try to do the best job you can everyday. (Nick Cassavetes (1075)) | |
| After years of doing it, you learn the difference between your ego and your opinion. When you're married you have to cut through that. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| Getting out of jury duty is easy. The trick is to say you're prejudiced against all races. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| I always enjoyed writing. I did playlets in high school, I did radio shows in college. That's one of the reasons I went down to Second City, because you could do acting and writing. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| I often say, if I wasn't part of the show I'd be a huge fan of it. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| I think that most people don't even know that I do other things. They think that Homer is all that I do. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| I think the tone of the show has certainly changed over the years, because it's really, really hard to do something different when you have a show going on as long as this has. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| I've made a kind of pact with myself where I said, It doesn't matter what it is as long as I'm acting. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| If I were actually Homer Simpson, I'd be getting scripts out the wazoo. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| It's hard to find a play that's right for me to do. Rather than waiting around for the right script to come along, I decided to write one myself. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| One of my favorite episodes was the one in which Homer grew hair. That was a very unique episode, since there was a gay secretary, but that wasn't even the issue of the show-the issue was Homer's image changing because he had hair. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| Sometimes the only way you can feel good about yourself is by making someone else look bad. And I'm tired of making other people feel good about themselves. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| The humor is essentially dark for a cartoon and sophisticated. But at the same time, being a cartoon gives the writers more freedom than in a normal sitcom. It always pushes the line that, despite human failings, the Simpsons are really decent people. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| The nice thing is that, at least in Los Angeles, I'm known as a character actor and I do auditions for other things besides just cartoon shows. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| The Simpsons can go anywhere in the world and not worry about any budgetary issues. However, even when the show has had its run, I think the characters can go on in perpetuity. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| The Simpsons take up so little time that I'm able to do other things as well. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| The voice doesn't take a lot of effort now, but in the beginning it was hard to try to find a voice. The one I settled on was just easier to do for a half-hour. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| There are times when the writers ask us to improvise. Sometimes the animators are inspired by what you do, and sometimes you are inspired by what the animators do. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
| When I first did The Tracey Ullman Show, there were times when I could offer a solution on stage, and I could understand the writers. (Dan Castellaneta (1075)) | |
