Dio Quotes

The sea is dangerous and its storms terrible, but these obstacles have never been sufficient reason to remain ashore... unlike the mediocre, intrepid spirits seek victory over those things that seem impossible... it is with an iron will that they embark on the most daring of all endeavors... to meet the shadowy future without fear and conquer the unknown Picture Quote #1

Mediocre people have an answer for everything and are astonished at nothing. They always want to have the air of knowing better than you what you are going to tell them; when, in their turn, they begin to speak, they repeat to you with the greatest confidence, as if dealing with their own property, the things that they have heard you say yourself at some other place. A capable and superior look is the natural accompaniment of this type of character Picture Quote #1

The virtue of dress rehearsals is that they are a free show for a select group of artists and friends of the author, and where for one unique evening the audience is almost expurgated of idiots Picture Quote #1

He who dictates and formulates the words and phrases we use, he who is master of the press and radio, is master of the mind. Repeat mechanically your assumptions and suggestions, diminish the opportunity for communicating dissent and opposition. This is the formula for political conditioning of the masses Picture Quote #1

There are countless ways of achieving greatness, but any road to achieving one’s maximum potential must be built on a bedrock of respect for the individual, a commitment to excellence, and a rejection of mediocrity Picture Quote #1

Society’s double behavioral standard for women and for men is, in fact, a more effective deterrent than economic discrimination because it is more insidious, less tangible. Economic disadvantages involve ascertainable amounts, but the very nature of societal value judgments makes them harder to define, their effects harder to relate Picture Quote #1

Professors of literature, who for the most part are genteel but mediocre men, can make but a poor defense of their profession, and the professors of science, who are frequently men of great intelligence but of limited interests and education Picture Quote #1

What a fool cannot learn he laughs at, thinking that by his laughter he shows superiority instead of latent idiocy Picture Quote #1

It is not always the highest talent that thrives best. Mediocrity, with tact, will outweigh talent oftentimes Picture Quote #1

With a good script a good director can produce a masterpiece; with the same script a mediocre director can make a passable film. But with a bad script even a good director can’t possibly make a good film. For truly cinematic expression, the camera and the microphone must be able to cross both fire and water. That is what makes a real movie. The script must be something that has the power to do this Picture Quote #1

Radio, which was a much better medium than television will ever be, was easy and pleasant to listen to. Your mind filled automatically with images Picture Quote #1

The fact that radio is so hopeless at delivering data makes it an uncluttered medium, offering the basic story without the detailed trappings. But it does mean that if data is important, radio is probably not your place Picture Quote #1

I was living in a terrible time when people were being accused of being communists, and they attacked the movie industry, especially the writers. People couldn’t work if they were on the blacklist. The studios banned them. It was the most onerous period in movie history. I don’t think we have ever had a period so dark as that Picture Quote #1

I walk by studio heads and they actually look and put their hand out now, like maybe I should be on their radar Picture Quote #1

Photosynthetic organisms in the sea yield most of the oxygen in the atmosphere, take up and store vast amounts of carbon dioxide, shape planetary chemistry, and hold the planet steady Picture Quote #1

To be diagnosed with cancer was a frightening thing, and my first reaction was sheer panic, but I was really fortunate that the cancer was caught at such an early stage that I didn’t need chemo or radiotherapy. But I know that cancer is a chronic condition, and once you’ve had it, you’re on the list, because it can come back Picture Quote #1

You earn very little money on independent films and I’m the provider for my home, so I do have to think of taking one for the accountant time and again and that means studio pictures Picture Quote #1

There is no line of demarcation between the amateurs and the pros; everyone is using the same tactics and playing in the same arenas. The only thing that separates them is radio, but the artist doesn’t control who goes to radio and who doesn’t Picture Quote #1

I love being in the studio. If I’m at home, I will go to the studio pretty much every day anyway. It’s just something that I like to do Picture Quote #1

I focus on having a feminine body, a dancer’s body. I do resistance and dance and cardio. I like hiking, swimming, being active. It clears your mind and it’s a good way to decompress Picture Quote #1

I think when dance is mediocre, it’s painful. But when dance is really impressive, it destroys Picture Quote #1

I’m just looking for the best story being told by the best people and the best part that I can find. If those things add up, I want to be a part of it whether it’s a studio film or, more likely in that instance, an independent film Picture Quote #1

I suddenly realised, hey, I’m not a lazy idiot, I’m an idler! It’s something to aspire to, it’s part of the creative process! That’s fantastic! Picture Quote #1

When stuck years ago in a job I hated, my only friend was the public bench. As the tedious mornings dragged on, how I would long for the lunch hour, when I would be able to escape the torture of the office and stroll over to the churchyard and into the comforting wooden embrace of one of its benches Picture Quote #1

As long as I’m still able to have a hit on the radio and sell a few albums and some tickets, I don’t see that it would be worth retiring Picture Quote #1

I hate people saying anything stupid. I don’t really suffer fools very well at all. When people are acting like idiots, not that I’m not guilty of doing the odd idiotic thing myself from time to time, but when people say stupid things, it stresses me out Picture Quote #1

It’s extremely damaging to a fair trial to have people reaching judgment about the case in the newspapers and on the radio before the facts are heard in a case Picture Quote #1

On radio and television, magazines and the movies, you can’t tell what you’re going to get. When you look at the comic page, you can usually depend on something acceptable by the entire family Picture Quote #1

I do real paintings, you know. I’m a little messy in the studio, so I’m a bit of a danger. But I just adore it Picture Quote #1

Producers and studios know what sells. It’s nice to be one of the guys that can help sell a movie by taking his shirt off Picture Quote #1
