I talk too much because I have been made so miserable by what you are keeping hushed.
You must be made miserable before you can know true Christian joy. Indeed the real trouble with the miserable Christian is that he has never been truly made miserable because of conviction of sin. He has by-passed the essential preliminary to joy, he has been assuming something that he has no right to assume.
Most men talk too much. Much of my success has been due to keeping my mouth shut.
I cut my own hair. I got sick of barbers because they talk too much. And too much of their talk was about my hair coming out.
If I read too much or know too much it's not because I want to talk about it, it's only because it's interesting for me.
I would definitely say pleasure is not happiness. Because I think I kill pleasure. Like I take too much of it in, and therefore make it un-pleasurable, like too much coffee, and you're miserable.
I think what's wrong with too many people is they're too reserved. They're miserable, but they don't want to talk about it.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch tv too much. We have multiplied our possessions but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often. We've learned how to make a living but not a life. We've added years to life, not life to years.
That's why I don't talk. Because I talk too much.
I was really able to confirm something that I knew on some level before I'd made a film. The best actors know how to really relax. Because in film, a lot of the decisions are made in the editing room, so when you're trying to guide your performance too much - always it's a push and pull because you can't be too relaxed. Too relaxed and it's like, "What are you doing?" Too tense and it's not good either.
Too much talking these days. Talk talk talk. This country would get along much better if people learned how to suffer in silence.
As an actor, I don't want to talk too much about my future films because this industry is such that even after half a film has been complete, it can be shelved.
I want to stay humble, but I have to talk because the other guys talk too much, and... I understand the crazy power the UFC PR machine has.
One of the reasons a film about Pablo Escobar has never been made in the two-hour format is because there's too much information.
I know I probably offend some people. I have been talking a little too much so I'm trying not to talk as much.
A lot of the stuff that I've done has been more drama and less comedy. I've had some opportunities to do some comedy, and I've often wanted to do that because it fits with me very comfortably because I talk too much, and I'm always saying the wrong thing all the time.
No one ever said at the end of his days; 'I have read my bible too much, I have thought of God too much, I have prayed too much, I have been too careful with my soul'
