As time goes on you're getting more knowledge of your playbook and football, and you just pick it up a lot easier. Lining up everywhere is just second nature to me now.
Men are not gentle, friendly creatures wishing for love, who simply defend themselves if they are attacked, but ... a powerful measure of desire for aggression had to be reckoned as part of their instinctual endowment.
The true man wants two things: danger and play. For that reason he wants woman, as the most dangerous plaything.
Every morning in Africa, a gazelle wakes up, it knows it must outrun the fastest lion or it will be killed. Every morning in Africa, a lion wakes up. It knows it must run faster than the slowest gazelle, or it will starve. It doesn't matter whether you're the lion or a gazelle-when the sun comes up, you'd better be running.
Manuals have their uses ... but they are not to be confused with living.
Beware of driving men to desperation. Even a cornered rat is dangerous.
There is more wisdom in your body than in your deepest philosophy.
The wise are instructed by reason; ordinary minds by experience; the stupid, by necessity; and brutes by instinct.

I have written a lot about snakes. There's something pretty primordial about it.
I didn't know whether to duck or to run, so I ran.
If you give a meaning to certain things in my paintings it may be very true, but it is not my idea to give this meaning. What ideas and conclusions you have got I obtained too, but instinctively, unconsciously. I make the painting for the painting. I paint the objects for what they are.
I've never gone through an audition process or anything. In most of my decisions like that, I just kind of feel it out: You know, do I feel comfortable with this person?
The animal tends to eat with his stomach, and the man with his brain. When the animal's stomach is full, he stops eating, but the man is never sure when to stop. When he has eaten as much as his belly can take, he still feels empty, he still feels an urge for further gratification.
Self-preservation is the first law of nature.
Nobody ever saw a dog make a fair and deliberate exchange of one bone for another with another dog.
Our own physical body possesses a wisdom which we who inhabit the body lack. We give it orders which make no sense.
Acting was something that I grew up just doing. I certainly never thought about it.
