The studios wanted to give me the Monroe-type sex buildup. I wanted to develop my acting, not my body.
Anne Bancroft
Nature gives us... passions and desires suitable to our present state. We are only troubled by the fears which we, and not nature, give ourselves... 109
Blaise Pascal
Let us give ourselves indiscriminately to everything our passions suggest, and we will always be happy...Conscience is not the voice of Nature but only the voice of prejudice.
Donatien de Sade
A rustic setting always suggests fantasy; to suggest science fiction, you need sheet metal and plastic. You need rivets.
Orson Scott Card
Sit down before fact with an open mind. Be prepared to give up every preconceived notion. Follow humbly wherever and to whatever abyss Nature leads or you learn nothing. Don’t push out figures when facts are going in the opposite direction.
