In independent film you tend to have stories that involve more of a community, and the smaller characters are important to the story. ~David Morse
#quotes #david-morse #stories #film

All the seven deadly sins are self destroying, morbid appetites, but in their early stages at least, lust and gluttony, averice and sloth know some gratification, while anger and pride have power, even though that power eventually destroys itself. Envy is impotent, numbed with fear, never ceasing in its appetite, and it knows no gratification, but endless self torment. It has the ugliness of a trapped rat, which gnaws its own foot in an effort to escape. ~Angus Wilson

Something that will either change your life for the better, or end it forever. Chaos. ~James Michael
