I cannot think of any need in childhood as strong as the need for a father's protection.
That's all about the natural order of things the idea of nature protecting children but also children protecting nature.
A book is a fragile creature it suffers the wear of time it fears rodents the elements and clumsy hands. so the librarian protects the books not only against mankind but also against nature and devotes his life to this war with the forces of oblivion.
Men speak of natural rights but I challenge any one to show where in nature any rights existed or were recognized until there was established for their declaration and protection a duly promulgated body of corresponding laws.
The thing that's protected me creatively is that the movies have made profits.
De Niro was a hero of mine. And Sean Penn. But I've realized I can't operate at that level of intensity. That's okay for movies. On TV when you live with horror day in and day out you have to protect yourself.
If you've got a talent protect it.
Organized labor if they're doing a responsible job is going to organize the pooling of small amounts of money to protect the interests of the people who are not rich.
I'm not a businessperson. I have no sense of money. My mom does everything for me. She makes all my decisions for me and even buys my clothes. She's very protective.
As a mom I always feel I have to protect them. I talk about them because they are the most important things in my life but they are private people. I won't use them for my own press.
