It's much more fun to play something you're nothing like than what you are... It's much easier to hide yourself in a character.

Clint Eastwood

It's so much easier to write for an actor than for an imaginary character and then try to fit that character to an actor. It doesn't work very often in my experience.

Michael Schur

It's much easier for me to think in terms of character movement and emotion and story rather than, 'What are some wacky hijinks we can throw together?'

Raphael Bob-Waksberg

It is so much easier to covet what one hasn't than to revel in what one has. Also, it is so much easier to be enthusiastic about what exists than about what doesn't.

Max Beerbohm

Wayne Dyer

Bees are easier to keep than a dog or a cat. They are more interesting than gerbils. They can be kept anywhere.

Sue Hubbell

It's much easier, for example, to play a heroin addict and you're withdrawing - you tear the ceiling off - that's much easier than it is to come in and say, 'Hello.' Or, 'I love you'. When you judge it in that way, the heavy isn't as difficult.

James Stewart

The movies are fun, but I'm a novelist. In many ways, screenwriting is much easier than writing novels. I find screenplays twenty times easier to write than a novel.

Nicholas Sparks

Nice distinctions are troublesome. It is so much easier to say that a thing is black, than to discriminate the particular shade of brown, blue, or green, to which it really belongs. It is so much easier to make up your mind that your neighbour is good for nothing, than to enter into all the circumstances that would oblige you to modify that opinion.

George Eliot

Friends are like money, easier made than kept.

Samuel Butler

Friendship is like money, easier made than kept.

Samuel Butler

I studied psychology in school, and the best psychology is in literature. It's so much easier to understand a character than a theory. You can recognize yourself—or other people—in a different way.

Natalie Portman

Facing them (men) with knives and spears was much easier than loving them, much easier.

Robert Jordan

The character and mentality of the keepers may be of more importance in understanding prisons than the character and mentality of the kept.

Jessica Mitford

Did I have a heart to be contented? Well, no, not particularly. I had a tendency to be discontented: ambitious, dissatisfied, fretful, and tough to please...It's easier to complain than to laugh, easier to yell than to joke around, easier to be demanding than to be satisfied.

Gretchen Rubin

You get thrown off balance out there. And I never recovered. Well, I haven't recovered yet.

Rory McIlroy
