~By Henri Bergson ~

~By Graeme Murphy ~
Reality is not simply there, it must be searched and won.
~By Paul Celan ~

~By Atal Bihari Vajpayee ~
I loved Old School. I thought Old School was very different than a lot of the comedies that had come out. And that character I liked. I tried to ground him very much in reality and play him very much finding things important to him that are somewhat ridiculous.
~By Vince Vaughn ~

~By Jurgen Habermas ~
I find that when I play reality-based characters, it is only as fun for me if I have a lot of time to do research. If I don't it just isn't exciting but if I do, it can be fun because I can learn about that person and the world that they live in and I can become somebody else.
~By Daryl Hannah ~
