Show business is stale ideas and stale actors. — © Jackie Coogan
Show business is stale ideas and stale actors.
An actor can grow stale in a bad part. Actors grow stale, generally, because there's no demand on them.
Stale water is a poor drink. Stale skill is worse. And the man who walks in his own footsteps only ends where he began.
Stale is stale and borrowed is borrowed, no matter how original your models may have been.
Without new ideas success can become stale
I have a lot of sketches and ideas, but when you don't use them, they get stale.
I have to take time occasionally to get away from the pressures of this business. If I don't, I think I would get stale, and that would show in my music.

Something I learned as an actor was which scenes needed to be rehearsed and which actors are good with rehearsal, which actors learn from it, and which ones grow stale because they start to second-guess themselves.

All of the great ideas, without action, become stale and useless. The key to turning dreams into reality is action. People who have great ideas are a dime a dozen. People who act on their dreams and ideas are the select few, but they are the ones who gain the wealth, wealth and wisdom that is available. Someone will act today. Let it be you.
Even at the worst of times, when nothing goes right, when the prose is clumsy and the ideas feel stale, at least we're doing something that we genuinely love. There's no other reason to work this hard, except that love.
President Obama has been attacking relentlessly. In 2008 he said that if you're out of fresh ideas you use stale tactics against your opponent - you try and make your opponent unacceptable and that's what he is trying to do.
I don't want to be stale.
