Dreams — both the ones you have at night and the ones you chase during the day. This collection covers ambition, aspiration, imagination, and the stubborn belief that things could be different from how they are right now.
“I've been interested in dreams since I as a kid and I've wanted to do a film about them for a long time.”
“I envy people with dreams and passions, but I don't think that way. I still don't have a 'bliss' to follow. For people like me - I suspect that's most people - holding out for a 'dream' or a 'passion' is paralyzing. I just like having work I enjoy that feels meaningful. That's hard enough... but it's enough.”
“Sigmund Freud said we act out our own dreams, but if you are only an actor you are not acting out your own dream. You are simply participating in someone else's dream.”
“Hold fast to dreams, for if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”
“Take what you can from your dreams, make them as real as anything.”
“Like all young reporters - brilliant or hopelessly incompetent - I dreamed of the glamorous life of the foreign correspondent: prowling Vienna in a Burberry trench coat, speaking a dozen languages to dangerous women, narrowly escaping Sardinian bandits - the usual stuff that newspaper dreams are made of.”
“People don't think their dreams amount to much, but when I ask them to examine them for common themes, they surprise themselves at how accurate they are! They see that their dreams have value.”
“Your vision will become clear only when you can look into your own heart. Who looks outside, dreams who looks inside, awakes.”
“Men don't come up to you to just talk. We come up to you with a plan. We're looking across the room at you, and we don't care about your hopes and dreams. We don't care about what your future holds. We saw something we wanted.”
“Living in dreams of yesterday, we find ourselves still dreaming of impossible future conquests.”
“You know, one of my biggest dreams in life is to play a Disney princess.”
“God, that dumping ground of our dreams.”
“Every comedian dreams of hosting 'The Tonight Show' and, for seven months, I got to. I did it my way, with people I love, and I do not regret a second.”
“Believe in love. Believe in magic. Hell, believe in Santa Clause. Believe in others. Believe in yourself. Believe in your dreams. If you don't, who will?”
“My own dreams fortunately came true in this great state. I became Mr. Universe I became a successful businessman. And even though some people say I still speak with a slight accent, I have reached the top of the acting profession.”
“I think there's a time as a writer when you want to see the best things in life, and you go out wherever you go with your dreams as a writer or a composer.”
