Oscar Quotes

“Toda arte é, ao mesmo tempo, superfície e símbolo. Os que buscam sob a superfício fazem-no por seu próprio risco. Os que procuram decifrar o símbolo correm também seu próprio risco.”

“Podemos perdoar a um homem por haver feito uma coisa útil, contando que não a admire. A única desculpa de haver feito uma coisa inútil é admirá-la intensamente.”

“Os que encontram significações feias em coisas belas são corruptos sem ser encantadores. Isto é um defeito.
Os que encontram belas significações em coisas belas são cultos. Para estes há esperança.
Existem os eleitos, para os quais as coisas belas significam unicamente Beleza.”

Four nominations and four kids. I am damn proud!

I had no idea they were announcing today. I swear! I was totally taken by surprise. I just dropped the kids off at carpool. I was about five minutes from the school with a car full of kids. With so many kids, I didn’t even realize it was today. I’m glad I forgot about it. It’s made it all the more — I don’t know, just sweet and poignant and unexpected, you know?

Of course I am thrilled to receive an Oscar nomination. As my 3-year-old daughter said ‘Yay!’ I couldn’t put it any better myself.

I always pass on good advice. It is the only thing to do with it. It is never of any use to oneself.

Anyone who lives within their means suffers from a lack of imagination.
