My idea of good company is the company of clever, well-informed people who have a great deal of conversation; that is what I call good company.
There's no such thing as quality time; there's only quantity time.
The way that PSG approached me was impeccable. I felt wanted.
When a salesperson truly cares about you, trust forms, and you're more likely to buy, come back for repeat business, and refer new customers.
The thing is, I don't want to be sold to when I walk into a store. I want to be welcomed.
Your children can be around you all day, but if you don't spend quality time with them and you don't pay attention to them and talk to them and listen to them, it doesn't matter that they're just around you.
Good company and good discourse are the very sinews of virtue.
I do see a lot of my kids, but sometimes I feel as though we have snatched moments. I turn up half way through something, or I only see her at bedtime. I'd like there to be more.
It's not that parents expect a lot from their kids, except, maybe 5-10 minutes of time in a day spent on something as simple as small talk.
I don't think quantity time is as special as quality time with your family.
People are desperate for these breathier, longer, more in-depth conversations. And the only thing I can't provide in my show is the longer time.
There is hunger to have good experiences with people. There will be roles and all of that. But the package of experience has today become important for me. People should be good, established; the filmmaking and acting experience should become heartening.
I mean obviously we're all dealing with a lot more strangers due to the web. I'd say it has more to do with the quality of interactions. When you're physically interacting with someone, it forces you to be more present and probably a little more uncomfortable. You have to tolerate being outside the comfort of your own home.
There are so many things calling you toward that computer or TV. You forget, we're a family. We're all supposed to spend time together and talk.
One shining quality lends a lustre to another, or hides some glaring defect.
Give your child quality time. If you're going to be with him for two hours, then disconnect from absolutely everything. Look at him in the eyes - get to know your baby. Sitting there as you watch TV is not quality time to me.
It's the human approach to customers that I want to bring back.
