The world is a beautiful book, but of little use to him who cannot read it Picture Quote #1

Coming to understand a painting or a symphony in an unfamiliar style, to recognize the work of an artist or school, to see or hear in new ways, is as cognitive an achievement as learning to read or write or add Picture Quote #1

My wife and I love to read. Were going to have to move out to make room for the books! And we have our dogs Picture Quote #1

Most actors really love it, that’s what they want to do. They burn to do it. And so they’ll read a script and think, that’s an interesting part. And because they love acting, that blinds them to the fact that the rest of it is pretentious nonsense, which it very often is Picture Quote #1

The piano is a universal instrument. If you start there, learn your theory and how to read, you can go on to any other instrument Picture Quote #1

It’s really important to remember that most people in the public eye are human for a start and a lot of things that you read in the media get slightly misconstrued and manipulated Picture Quote #1
