Don't give up your dreams.

An Academy Award nomination is stuff dreams are made of.

In Dreams... well I was slightly overcompensating with that. I was a bit like a director for hire so maybe I was putting too much imagery that was familiar to me into it.

My dreams were at once more fantastic and agreeable than my writings.

If you want to achieve your dreams you must follow them and the best way to follow them is not to think about wanting to be very rich but to think about doing something that you really want to do.

Dreams are by definition cursed with short life spans.

Youth is in a grand flush like the hot days of ending summer and pleasant dreams thrall your spirit like the smoky atmosphere that bathes the landscape of an August day.

In my lifetime I've discovered a great many incredibly talented individuals. Some have achieved stardom. Simultaneously I've seen many dreams shattered egos destroyed and lives changed forever. The end destination may well be fame and fortune but the road to stardom is littered with broken hearts.

This city can be kind of brutal so you see your dreams from every different angle but ultimately it's about acting and if you enjoy acting you will always enjoy acting.

The old studios that mass-produced dreams are gone with the wind just like the old downtown theaters that were the temples of the dreams.
