Dio Quotes

The biggest gains, in terms of decreasing the country’s energy bill, the amount of carbon dioxide we put into the atmosphere, and our dependency on foreign oil, will come from energy efficiency and conservation in the next 20 years. Make no doubt about it. That’s where everybody who has really thought about the problem thinks the biggest gains can be and should be Picture Quote #1

If getting on the radio was a major motivation, I’d be one of the worst writers of all time. I admire people who do it, and I think it’s a nice way to work, but I try to do the best I can and write what I like. I don’t worry about it Picture Quote #1

Part of it is, I think, just to let people know you’ve got a record out there and that you’re still alive requires more work than it used to, because the traditional radio, bug chains of record stores, all of that, that doesn’t exist anymore Picture Quote #1

I am not a complete idiot, but whether from weakness or laziness have no talent for thinking. I know only how to reflect: I am a mirror... Logic does not exist for me. I float on the waves of art and life and never really know how to distinguish what belongs to the one or the other or what is common to both. Life unfolds for me like a theatre presenting a sequence of somewhat unreal sentiments; while the things of art are real to me and go straight to my heart Picture Quote #1

It is in the nature of democracies, perhaps, that while visionaries are sometimes necessary to make them, once made they can be managed by mediocrities Picture Quote #1

Assume that your worldview is not borne by the public. More than that: Do not assume that those who think differently are idiots. Before you distrust them, question your own assumptions Picture Quote #1

A big budget studio film is slower, theyve got so much to create around you. Everything is more complicated Picture Quote #1

Being on television, playing the same character for many years, for me, I think that would get a little tedious Picture Quote #1

I’ve done millions of mediocre movies. I’ve done way more than my fair share. You do what you gotta do. This is not heart surgery. I’m not curing cancer. I’m just trying to put my kids through school Picture Quote #1

I was lazy. I would have been a hell of a lot better actress had I taken it more seriously. I never had the proper respect for acting. Quite often, I learned my lines on the way to the studio Picture Quote #1

I laughed from the time I arrived at the studio until I left at night. I was almost ashamed to take a paycheck Picture Quote #1

Some of you may be perfectly happy with mediocrity. Some of you will get nothing but heartbreak. Some of you will be heralded as geniuses and become huge. Of course, all of you think that one describes you... hence the delusion necessary to push on Picture Quote #1

Any idiot can be brave, but courage is about knowing what’s at stake, and moving forward anyway Picture Quote #1

There are two types of paparazzi. The ones who hide who get you with your mouth hanging wide open or jumping up and down like an idiot on the street. I much prefer them to the ones who come out and follow you Picture Quote #1

I almost feel like its an obligation to not further the status quo if you become somebody with influence and exposure. I don’t want to paint the same painting again. I don’t want to make the same sculpture again. Why shouldnt a big movie studio be able to make those small independent kinds of pictures? Why not change it up? Picture Quote #1

Mediocrity is my biggest fear. I’m not afraid of total failure because I don’t think that will happen. I’m not afraid of success because that beats the hell out of failure. It’s being in the middle that scares me Picture Quote #1

If I’m going to follow a God, why would I want to follow a God of my creation? That would be an alcoholic idiot nitwit jerk god! Picture Quote #1

The first thing I did in the studio was to want to tear that camera to pieces. I had to know how that film got into the cutting room, what you did to it in there, how you projected it, how you finally got the picture together, how you made things match. The technical part of pictures is what interested me. Material was the last thing in the world I thought about. You only had to turn me loose on the set and I’d have material in two minutes, because I’d been doing it all my life Picture Quote #1

When I woke up I was naked. I have this one oddball idiosyncrasy: Sometimes in my sleep I take off all my clothes Picture Quote #1

Age is as much an asset for character players as it is for good wine. Human experiences, both good and bad, leave their marks on one’s face and bearing. A few lines on the face and a few gray hairs coupled with the idiosyncrasies an actor adopts throughout life help out round out the actor’s personality. So far as I’m concerned, the older a character actor gets, the firmer his position is Picture Quote #1

We’d record a song that people liked and wanted to hear on the radio, and the radio wouldn’t play it because it was too long. Or they wanted to edit it, which we wouldn’t allow Picture Quote #1

The key is working with great directors. A film is so many different people and all their talents, but particularly the directors, because of the idiosyncrasies of that person Picture Quote #1

I like to watch people. For example, people at the airport... What is interesting about them is that they don’t know what they are like. People at airports are the most brilliant actors in the world, because their attention is elsewhere, and they are idiosyncratic. I like to imitate people. I walk behind them and imitate their backs Picture Quote #1

I love awards, especially if I get them. It’s up to the courage of the filmmakers to make art in cinema, not just business. John was rejected by studios, he borrowed money and did movies with his own money. You’re either courageous or not. You have to find a way Picture Quote #1

They come for you in the morning in a limousine; they take you to the studio; they stick a pretty girl in your arms... They call that a profession? Come on! Picture Quote #1

Ive realized that even more that what is beautiful about the accordion is to play with a single finger sometimes, with a very pure, very pointed sound that gives a lot of poetry and emotion Picture Quote #1

The paradox is really the pathos of intellectual life and just as only great souls are exposed to passions it is only the great thinker who is exposed to what I call paradoxes, which are nothing else than grandiose thoughts in embryo Picture Quote #1

I see a sea of networkers all doing and saying the same things. They look alike, act alike and sound alike when speaking to prospects. If you want to rise above the average, mediocre networker... then you have to think differently Picture Quote #1

Some days are good; some days are not so good. Some days are really exciting. Some days are just tedious. You just have to get up out of bed Picture Quote #1

I have gone through a long apprenticeship. I have gone through enough of being a nobody. I have decided that when I am a star, I will be every inch and every moment the star! Everybody from the studio gateman to the highest executive will know it Picture Quote #1
