The method of "postulating" what we want has many advantages; they are the same as the advantages of theft over honest toil.

Bertrand Russell

The axiomatic method is very powerful

Kurt Gödel

It's axiomatic that all husbands are impossible. But I also think it's axiomatic that women are slightly impossible.

Christopher Buckley

It is axiomatic among writers that no one ever sues the writer of an unsuccessful book. Just let a book go over twenty-five thousand copies and it is surprising how many people's feelings are hurt, how many screwballs think their brain children have been stolen, and how many people feel that they have been portrayed in a manner calculated to bring infamy upon them.

Margaret Mitchell

There's no such thing as The Method. The term 'method-acting' is so much nonsense. There are many methods, many techniques.

Susan Strasberg

I would say she [Barbara Stanwyck] did her job as best she could; an honest day's work for an honest day's pay - and when it was over, it was over.

Victoria Wilson

Temple Grandin

Nicole Kidman

it is axiomatic with most writing people that there are no such things as perfect conditions for work.

Mary Roberts Rinehart

To be honest, there are so many things I learned in acting school beyond the method; it was a safe place to practice. So acting school was about exercising that acting muscle and doing it every single day - and having people tell you that you're bad every single day! Which pushes you to work even harder.

Jane Levy

Dogs do not have many advantages over people, but one of them is extremely important: euthanasia is not forbidden by law in their case; animals have the right to a merciful death.

Milan Kundera

It is Method on 'This is England;' it is. But it can't be Method on every job because it just doesn't work for everything.

Vicky McClure

I definitely consider myself a Method actor, because of my training. I might dispute what people consider a Method actor to be. For my money, a Method actor is an actor who has a technique. That has a method. And not one method, but whatever might be required. So a Method actor is always learning.

Melissa Leo

To be honest the work that a producer does is work that I've done for most of my working life. It's work that I started to do, for example, when I worked with Sally Potter on Orlando. We developed it together over five years.

Tilda Swinton

You need the willingness to fail all the time. You have to generate many ideas and then you have to work very hard only to discover that they don’t work. And you keep doing that over and over until you find one that does work.
