“Do it now if you can, when you can. Sometimes later goes for never.”

“I don't understand acting. Sometimes I only understand it while I'm doing it, and sometimes not even then. You cannot study acting. You can get new tools to use…, but you can't become something by studying, you just can't. You can become better. But some people can't even do that. They are best when they are very young because they are restless. When the restlessness settles, the acting goes. When acting goes for me, I'll just stop and do something else. I hope I always will get better and better, meaning bigger and bigger and more courageous and deeper and lighter and more flexible. But when it's time to go, it's time to go. There is no use trying to ride a wooden horse.”

“All you can do is hope for a pattern to emerge, and sometimes it never does. Still, with a plan, you only get the best you can imagine. I'd always hoped for something better than that.”

“Sometimes that's all you can do. Hope.”

“Anything you do from the heart enriches you, but sometimes not till years later.”

“But sometimes you lose. Nothing you can do but admit it.

“Sometimes there's nothing you can do. […] Sometimes they don't have enough to fight with.”

“Sometimes you can't make it.
The best you can do is to fake it.
Sometimes you can't make it on your own.”

“If somebody offers you an amazing opportunity but you are not sure you can do it, say yes – then learn how to do it later!”

“Mr Churchill, to what do you attribute your success in life?

Conservation of energy. Never stand up when you can sit down. And never sit down when you can lie down.”
