I don't want people to kiss my ass, I just want to get to a point where they can't kick it. — Michael J. Fox. Canadian-American actor and activist (born 1961)
One's dignity may be assaulted, vandalized and cruelly mocked, but cannot be taken away unless it is surrendered.
There's a rule in acting called, "Don't play the result." If you have a character who's going to end up in a certain place, don't play that until you get there. Play each scene and each beat as it comes. And that's what you do in life: You don't play the result.
I am careful not to confuse excellence with perfection. Excellence, I can reach for; perfection is God's business.
If Spirituality is that you're humble in the face of forces greater than you and you believe those forces are more inclined toward being good than being bad, then I'm a spiritual person.
