You can read 50 great things about yourself, but the one bad thing will be what you remember most.
‐‐ Luke Evans
You can read a character that feels amazing, but if the world around it and all the writing around it - even the way the stage descriptions are written - don't feel just right, then you know there's no point in doing the project. No character is ever bigger than the whole film.
‐‐ Riz Ahmed

You can read and read, but nothing eclipses experience.
‐‐ J. Maarten Troost
You can read books on stuff all day long, but until you get out there and just do it, if you want to start playing, and you want to make some music, then go out and play. Go find yourself a venue and play, even if it's in your home. Just play every day. You win the fight by fighting.
‐‐ Christian Kane
You can read everybody. It's not even interesting to tell the truth because to some extent it's false.
‐‐ Charles Olson
You can read Kant by yourself, if you wanted to; but you must share a joke with someone else.

You can really get poked in the back and not feel it very much, but just a feather around your lips and you really do feel it.
‐‐ Helen Fisher
You can really get your chops in shape in the resident theatres, and I urge anyone to investigate them and to be willing to go anywhere to pursue the great roles.

‐‐ Margaret D. Nadauld
You can refi your car loan just like you can refi your mortgage. It's even easier and less expensive. There's no appraisal process, and fees are minimal for a new car title. A couple of caveats: Most lenders require that the car be less than five years old and have a minimum loan balance of $7,500.

You can register a political objection in a number of ways.
‐‐ Nicholson Baker
You can relate to somebody's pain and you have compassion, which can lead to intimacy.
‐‐ Jeff Bridges
You can relax more when you're playing a silly character than when you're playing a really rigid character. But to be fair, I think George Clooney is a bigger teenager than any of the 'Twilight' cast. He's the guy throwing a football at your head and then hiding around the corner, pretending it wasn't him!
‐‐ Anna Kendrick
You can repeat things because it's on a set and there are actors. But if it's a great moment and you don't capture it, it's rare to get that moment again.
‐‐ Larry Charles
You can rest a lot in an hour or have a whole day and not do it properly. One way I get a quality recharge is to connect with nature. To experience something that's bigger than me.
‐‐ Lili Taylor
You can retire from a job, but don't ever retire from making extremely meaningful contributions in life.
‐‐ Stephen Covey
You can ride your bike to anywhere in Portland if you want to. I think there was a charming underdog mentality when I first moved here in the late '80s that is definitely gone. People acted more like underdogs, dressed more like underdogs.

You can road-test relationships.
‐‐ Joel Edgerton
You can ruin your life wanting to be an actor.

‐‐ Dale Archer
You can safely appeal to the United Nations in the comfortable certainty that it will let you down.

You can satisfy your soul's mission by committing to leaving something behind on this planet that will make a difference to those who come after you.

You can say I had a severe case of 'Roots' envy. I wanted to be like Alex Haley, and I wanted to be able to... do my family tree back to the slave ship and then reverse the Middle Passage, as I like to put it, and find the tribe or ethnic group that I was from in Africa.
‐‐ Henry Louis Gates
You can say I'm not the easiest architect in the world, because I'm always trying to push the limits.
