If the year 2000 can help us move into the future, that’s fine, but I am afraid that people see it as a full stop and that one can take a big breath afterwards – you can’t.
I had a studio visitor ask me when a piece was complete, and afterward, I realized I was kind of annoyed by the question. I wrote down to myself, ‘Nothing’s ever finished’ as an operating value.
At the age of two-and-a-half, I was run down by a truck. I had gone rogue in the house while my mother was bathing my sister. I went outside and met a friend who promised me candy.

My favorite novels allow me to imagine the characters afterward and what happened, and that I’ve witnessed a really great story, where the world goes on.

A man is a fool if he drinks before he reaches the age of 50, and a fool if he doesn’t afterward.
As awful as crime can be, it’s what happens afterward – the struggling to get out of bed, to put one foot in front of the other – that alters people.
The best movies have one sentence that they’re exploring, a thesis, something that people can argue about over dinner afterward.

I love movies that make me cry, because they’re tapping into a real emotion in me, and I always think afterwards: how did they do that?
I remember, once I was going through Nice airport with Roger Moore, and these kids came up and asked for our autographs. Afterwards, Roger said, ‘It must be very strange for you. I’m an actor, and signing autographs is part of what I do. But you’re a public figure who people don’t really know.’ He was right.
I’m interested in telling stories about characters that are interesting and who are challenging in some way, one that will make you think about them afterwards.
Leh has few of what Europeans regard as travelling necessaries. The brick tea which I purchased from a Lhassa trader was disgusting. I afterwards understood that blood is used in making up the blocks. The flour was gritty, and a leg of mutton turned out to be a limb of a goat of much experience.
I don’t know a lot about mountaineering. I once went walking in the Lake District with the legendary climber Chris Bonington and had to have emergency physio afterwards to regain sensation in my thighs.
No man in America ever strove more, and more successfully first to bring about a Congress in 1765, and then to support it ever afterwards than myself.
Politics is the ability to foretell what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next month and next year. And to have the ability afterwards to explain why it didn’t happen.
What I always wanted to do when I was a kid was to speak out and help people which I continue to do afterwards.
By junior high, I was a horrible student. But during my sophomore year of high school, I did have a fabulous English teacher, and I would go to school just for her class and then skip out afterwards. That’s actually when I started writing, although I didn’t think of it then as something I might someday do.

In private some critics have come up to me afterwards and told me they honestly enjoyed the movie. Then they’d tell me that they’re still going to have to write it up negatively.
It’s incredible the muscle damage you do in a sprint. You don’t see it after the line, because we’re smiling. But if you see the tent that we’re in straight afterwards, you just collapse.
When I’m feeling down on myself or not feeling good about who I am, or maybe something happened and I’m feeling depressed, I eat to fill that void. Afterwards I’ll beat myself up about it. I regret doing it, but I’ll turn around and do it again.
I have been very successful in handling people who hurl abuse simply by being patient. Ignoring them is the best policy because afterwards, it’s the fans that criticise these so-called celebrities for their bad conduct.
Most of my choices come about through some kind of intuition or instinct, and if I need to, I’ll post-rationalize them, intellectually, afterwards. But generally, they come about just by feeling.
It was just expected that I would go to college. Both my parents are teachers and they tolerated acting, but I was going to go to a school of quality or bust. Which made my downshifting back to acting afterward a little difficult.
I hate getting a McDonald’s. I’m not a McDonald’s person: you just feel crap afterwards.

Now the only thing I miss about sex is the cigarette afterward. Next to the first one in the morning, it’s the best one of all. It tasted so good that even if I had been frigid I would have pretended otherwise just to be able to smoke it.
Every movie, especially when you get involved… takes something out of you. You learn something, but you give something to the movie. And after the movie, if the experience has been intense and a true experience, you’re a little different afterward.
When it comes to my own turn to lay my weapons down, I shall do so with thankfulness and fatigue, and whatever be my destiny afterward, I shall be glad to lie down with my fathers in honor. It is human at least, if not divine.

If you live a good life, that seems to be what really matters. If there is something afterwards, terrific. If not, you haven’t lost anything.

I uplift people and see the good in a bad situation. The worst is I’m very critical of myself. If I do a performance, I watch it 100 times afterwards and pick it apart.
When in the end, the day came on which I was going away, I learned the strange learning that things can happen which we ourselves cannot possibly imagine, either beforehand, or at the time when they are taking place, or afterwards when we look back on them.
