“He who closes his ears to the views of others shows little confidence in the integrity of his own views.”

“I confess freely to you, I could never look long upon a monkey, without very mortifying reflections.”

“Invention flags, his brain goes muddy, and black despair succeeds brown study.”

“When a door closes, if you look long enough and hard enough, if you're strong enough, you'll find a window that opens.”

“I've got a lot of weaknesses. One of them is that I often get scared and tense when I'm working - and fear is one of the big threats to any good performance, because it closes you down and makes it harder for you to produce life in front of the camera.”

“Your expectations opens or closes the doors of your supply, If you expect grand things, and work honestly for them, they will come to you, your supply will correspond with your expectation.”
