When you are starting out as an actor people are very interested in who you are because they want to know where they can put you.

#quotes #john-henry-patterson #men #mind

Truly, there are terrible primal arcana of earth which had better be left unknown and unevoked; dread secrets which have nothing to do with man, and which man may learn only in exchange for peace and sanity; cryptic truths which make the knower evermore an alien among his kind, and cause him to walk alone on earth. ~H. P. Lovecraft

#quotes #timothy-simons

Even if I had expected it, even if I had known what I was going to do with my life, it would have knocked the wind out of me.

And after you pick yourself up, you realize you can't trust anybody to save you, not your husband, not your mother, not God. So what can you do to stop yourself from tilting and falling all over again? ~Amy Tan
